http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/us/A0857125.html

Extractions: Encyclopedia California Ranking third among the U.S. states in area, California has a diverse topography and climate. A series of low mountains known as the Coast Ranges extends along the 1,200-mi (1,930-km) coast. The region from Point Arena, N of San Francisco, to the southern part of the state is subject to tremors and sometimes to severe earthquakes caused by tectonic stress along the San Andreas fault . The Coast Ranges receive heavy rainfall in the north, where the giant cathedral-like redwood forests prevail, but the climate of these mountains is considerably drier in S California, and S of the Golden Gate no major rivers reach the ocean. Behind the coastal ranges in central California lies the great Central Valley , a long alluvial valley drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. In the southeast lie vast wastelands, notably the Mojave Desert , site of Joshua Tree National Park. Rising as an almost impenetrable granite barrier E of the Central Valley is the Sierra Nevada range, which includes Mt. Whitney , Kings Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park , and Yosemite National Park . The Cascade Range , the northern continuation of the Sierra Nevada, includes Lassen Volcanic National Park . Lying E of the S Sierra Nevada is Death Valley National Park Sacramento is the state capital. The largest cities are

http://www-learning.berkeley.edu/AC/archive/syllabi/Geog50AC_Walker.html

Extractions: 4 units The course is organized around major themes in California geography: conquest and settlement, agriculture and resource extraction, industrial location and urbanization, and regional politics and schisms. Race and ethnicity run all throughout. The state's geography takes in a broad sweep of peoples, from the First Californians to a wide variety of immigrant and hyphenated Americans: Europeans, Middle Easterners, Asians, Mexicans and Central Americans, Africans. We look at the ways these many peoples have participated in the making of modern California over the last century: the using of its land, the shaping of its cities, the molding of government, and the creating of its industry. We also look at the ways industry, agribusiness, urbanization, and the state have used and abused people. To teach California as American cultures is not to change the story of the Golden State, but to get it right. READINGS R EQUIRED TEXTS
Mythical Geography: California As An Island
Mythical geography California as an Island. Some Imaginary california geography.In American Antiquarian Society (Magazine). April 1926. Wagner.
http://www.philaprintshop.com/calis.html

Extractions: Return to Mythical Geography home page Perhaps the most famous geographic myth is California shown as an island. The earliest maps of North America showed California as a peninsula, based on the reports of Francisco de Ulloa who explored the Bay of California in 1539. The famous maps by Gerard Mercator and Abraham Ortelius showed a correct depiction of California in the late sixteenth century, but that was to change early in the following century. In 1602, Sebastian Vizcaino sailed up the California coast, and Father Antonio de la Ascension wrote a journal of the voyage. Ascension claimed that California was separated from the American continent by the mediterranean Sea of California. It is not clear where Ascension got this notion, but this claim led to the mapping of California as an island beginning in 1622 with a small map on the title page of Antonio de Herreras Descripcion de las Indias Occidentales . The first folio maps to show this myth were by Abraham Goos in 1624 and by Henry Briggs in 1625. However, it wasnt until the more important commercial Dutch publishers accepted the insularity of California that this notion achieved universal acceptance. The first of these influential insular renderings was by Jan Jansson, whose map of North America from 1636 graphically displayed this myth, and this was soon followed by all other major publishers such as Nicolas Sanson, Guillaume Blaeu, Pierre Duval, and Herman Moll.
