The North Pacific route from Mesoamerica to the Kamchatka Peninsula could be divided into four legs. The Kingdom's ports and supply points along the way would be summarized in this chapter.

First leg: the West Bay Route, meaning the Mexica stretch of the Gulf of California, roughly four thousand li. This section was blocked off by the Baja California Peninsula, and there were no especially powerful ocean currents. The climate was mainly tropical monsoon in the south, changing to tropical desert in the north. The tropical desert climate had little rain year-round, and therefore produced guano.

Specific route: Trout Town (mouth of the Talsas River, 18°N, 102°W) -- Palm Fruit Town (the Colima tribes) -- Three Rivers City (the North Tecos tribes) -- Tin River Village (the Huierqiao People's Tolpan tribes) -- South Birdstone Village (Cochimí, guano production area) -- North Birdstone Village (Cochimí, guano production area, 28°N, 104°W)

Second leg: the West Coast Route, meaning today's West Coast of the United States, roughly more than five thousand li. The current in this section was the north-to-south California Cold Current for the greater first half, and the Alaska Warm Current for the smaller latter half. The climate was Mediterranean in the central and southern parts, with rainfall concentrated in autumn and winter, and temperate oceanic in the north.

Specific route: North Birdstone Village (28°N, 104°W) -- Three Mountain Port (Chumash, west side of present-day Los Angeles) -- West Mountain Port (the Miwok tribes, present-day San Francisco) -- Lake Bay Port (Wiyot) -- South Port (Coos People) -- North Port (Clatsop People, mouth of the great Colombia River) -- Whale Port (Makah, the northwesternmost corner of the West Coast, 48°N, 124°W)

Third leg: the Far North Coast Route, namely the Alaska route, six or seven thousand li. The current in this
