Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, Vol. 6: 1882 The vegetation of the wide central tract which lies between the Atlantic United States and those which border on the Pacific is replete with interest and importance, both scientific and economical. We are to sketch its general features, as made known to us by personal observation, by the published observations of others, and by the botanical studies to which we have been devoted. For doing this to much purpose, it is necessary to compare or to contrast the vegetation of the district in question with that of the more fertile regions on both sides, and with a somewhat similar wide interior district in another part of the northern temperate zone. By "the Atlantic States," as contradistinguished from those of the Pacific, we here mean not only those which touch upon the Atlantic Ocean, but also those which border the Mississippi River, on its western as well as its eastern side; the great woodless plains being taken as their western limit. The term "Rocky Mountain Region," here used in its widest sense, and in the lack of a better appellation, we propose to apply in general in such wise as to include the gradually elevated plateau which flanks the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains on the one hand, and the equally elevated district or plateau, thickly traversed by mountain ranges, which extends westward to the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada of California, and the Cascade Mountains further north. As to the Rocky Mountains themselves, it is most convenient and natural, from our point of view, to comprise under this general designation all the ranges as far west as the Wahsatch inclusive.
