Which river did Coronado not cross?
Mississippi River
Colorado River
Rio Grande
Arkansas River
Answer
Mississippi River was not crossed by Coronado because his expedition primarily explored the southwestern United States, including present-day Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Kansas. The Mississippi River, on the other hand, flows through the central and eastern regions of the country. Coronado's expedition never ventured far enough east to reach the Mississippi River.
