During his exploration in the 1540s, Francisco Coronado set out to find the fabled Seven Cities of Gold but instead discovered a diverse range of landscapes and indigenous cultures across present-day southwestern United States and northern Mexico. He traveled through areas that are now Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, encountering the Grand Canyon and the Great Plains. Although he did not find the gold he sought, his expedition provided valuable information about the geography and peoples of the region. Ultimately, Coronado's journey contributed to European knowledge of North America.
