Fenneman, Nevin
Physiography of western United States Nevin M. Fenneman - New York, New York McGraw-Hill 1931 - 534 p
THE central theme of this book is geological rather than geographical. It treats land forms, which are its main concern, as effects and not as causes. Nevertheless, it will be of value to the geographer as well as the geologist, for it gives accurate descriptions of the topography, with special stress on the drainage systems. The area covered lies approximately between long. 100° W. and the Pacific coast, and the treatment is by natural physical units called provinces and sections. These, as determined by the Association of American Geographers and United States Geological Survey, are shown on a large folding map which accompanies the volume. This useful map has also been separately published as an official American map.
