Historical atlas of California / by Warren A. Beck and Ynez D. Haase.

Includes bibliography.

With its great diversity of landforms, California has an unparalleled range of climate, soils, and natural vegetation. All these influence where man lives, what he does with the land, and what kind of communication and transportation he has. In this book a historian and a cartographer have collaborated to record these and other aspects of the Golden State's geography and events of its history. The narrative is illustrated by 101 excellent maps presenting information previously available only to scholar, and in some cases not available at all. www.alibris.com
