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!
