Maybe I’m just seeing what I want to see, but these areas seem to more closely represent natural regional divisions—the desert area has one group, the hills another, etc. I imagine it made your community feel pretty cohesive.
Keep in mind that they while they did have tribal territory and such these aren't borders per se, so for quite a lot of this map their "territory" follows those regions because it's convenient for the map maker and they don't want to leave gaps!
More resources, more groups, more competition. See all the costal areas.
