Places where Ansel Adams made photographs?

Robert Frank did a similar route but don't visit Colorado and Stephen Shore either. Mmm, I am lost in this map

My guess is the geographical locations associated with seminal photobook titles - Los Alamos, Niagara, Tulsa, Denver, and so on - but I have to admit that I can't place all of them.

Manzanar, Ansel Adams
Emmett, Ron Jude

Thanks, Blake. Great list of books, of course, and great idea for a map. I was stumped on what I thought was NYC since there were so many choices (I was thinking William Klein), but I hadn't thought it might be Jersey. I also hadn't thought of Manzanar and was trying to come up with Death Valley titles.
