Biblical Place-Names in the United States
V the latter list adds names of unincorporated places to those of the Census Bureau's list of counties, incorporated places, and small civil divisions: townships, electoral districts, precincts, etc.2 The total number of names-or, rather, of namings, since many names are replicated-in my sample is 61,742, the number in individual states ranging from 51 in Delaware to 3,361 in Pennsylvania. The number of place-names in official use in a state vari…

Town Names of Colonial New England in the West
The names given to the towns of New England during the colonial period formed the largest group of place names drawn upon in the naming of places (counties, townships, and aggregated communities) in the western territories and states after the attainment of independence by the United States. The distribution of these names in the twentieth century provides a clue to the westward spread of cultural elements from the northeastern states into the in…

Carl Ortwin Sauer, 1889-1975
En la cabecera de la noticia del fallecimiento de Carl Sauer, acaecido el 18 de julio de 1975, el Times de Nueva York le llamó "Decano de los geógrafos". Aunque hubiese en la larga vida de Sauer algo que justificara ese título, le habría provocado, todo lo más, una serena sonrisa, como ocurrió con las numerosas distinciones de que fue objeto en el transcurso de ella. Atento a los problemas pendientes de respuesta, de los que siempre tuvo plena co…

Gallic Place–Names for Vermont, 1785
In these letters Crevecreur submitted to Allen a list of names he suggested for settlements and civil divisions to be established in Vermont, names that should commemorate the aid given by France to the American colonists in their struggle for independence. 2These letters, and the names proposed in them, seem to me to be sufficiently interesting to justify a closer examination than I gave them in 1970 within the context of a general discussion.Th…

New England Town Names Derived from Personal Names
ESSAY HAS GROWN OUT of curiosity concerning the use of unmodified personal names as names of inhabited places in the English -speaking parts of North America.The giving of names such as Anderson, Fisher, and Williams to places represents a conspicuous departure from European tradition.That tradition requires some modification of the name of a person to be commemorated in a place-name, in most European languages by the addition of a suffix, to giv…

Graphic Derivation of Elements of the Solar Climate
All discussions of climate take as their primary datum the flux of solar energy on a unit horizontal surface outside the atmosphere as a function of latitude and time. Published tables and graphs of this quantity do not provide the details of daily variation that are often desired. Computations of instantaneous values through the daily cycle are laborious unless the quantity of data needed justifies the employment of a computer. Modest amounts of…

Atlas of Climatic Types in the United States, 1900-1939
Excerpts from the Introduction: Although drought years and flood years cannot be predicted, it is possible by using the many records of the United States Weather Bureau to determine the frequency with which droughts or other climatic events are likely to occur. Such information is of great aid in evaluating the agricultural potentialities of a region. It is essential to effective land use planning and to intelligent evaluation of erosion hazard. …

Methodologie Controversy in Nineteenth Century German Geography
It is neither accident nor a special love for controversy in academic geographers that has made methodologic discussion a prominent component of their writings and public utterances. The prominence of such discussion is rather the result of a special position of geography among the disciplines represented in academic institutions, a position that presents methodologic problems to every one of its representatives. Each representative has to take a…

Meandering Arroyos of the Dry Southwest
HE recently cut arroyos of the Colorado Plateau and adjacent parts of the dry Southwest owe their prominence in scientific literature largely to the enlightening account of them by Kirk Bryan published in I925.1 The decade that has passed since the appearance of Bryan's paper has not seen the accumulation of new data that its author hoped to evoke. During this period, however, opinion seems to have crystallized that overgrazing, rather than one o…
Turbulence and the Transportation of Rock Debris by Streams
An earlier paper by the author (Toward a theory of the morphologic significance of turbulence in the flow of water in streams, Univ. Calif. Pub. Geogr., v. 6, No. 1, 1932) presented a method of computing the distribution of intensity of turbulence in the plane cross-section of a stream, from surface-slope and distribution of velocity in the cross-section. In the present paper the results of such computation are compared with the results of comput…

Continental Precipitation on a Rotating Earth
NY textbook that deals with climatologic matters will inform its readers that air flows from the sea into the interior of continents that are warmed in summer to the extent of imparting to the air above them a temperature higher than that of the air above adjoining seas. The same textbook will convey the further information that as one goes inland in North America from the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico, or in Europe eastward from the Atlantic, t…
