All states are outlined. A shaded area along the western coast is labeled Military Exclusion Area. It includes western Washington state, western Oregon, the entire state of California, and southern Arizona along the border with Mexico. Two centers are within this shaded area in California. Tule Lake in northern California shows a population of 18,789, and Manzanar in south central California shows a population of 10,046. Located in southern Arizona are the centers of Poston, population 17,814, and Gila River, population 13,348. The Minidoka relocation center in southern Idaho shows a population of 9,397. The Heart Mountain relocation center in northern Wyoming shows a population of 10,767. The Topaz relocation center in west central Utah shows a population of 8,130.

Answer 1

The most accurate conclusion based on the information provided from the map is:

Japanese Americans were forcibly moved to isolated internment camps that were in areas located west of the Mississippi River.

This conclusion is supported by the fact that all the listed relocation centers are located in western states or just over the boundary into the central region (like Arkansas) which are all west of the Mississippi River. The other options do not accurately reflect the data presented on the map.
