Geography
Characterized by rugged
mountains, high plateaus,
low coastal plains and
desert, Mexico’s divisive
geography, until recent
years, has kept roads from
being cut from the coast
through the mountains on
both the east and west sides
of the country—limiting
travel, economic
development, and
improvements to its
infrastructure. |
