The Challenge of Landscape
Fire as a Land-Use Tool in Northeastern Australia
A T MOST places in Australia where there is anything to burn, bush fires are common. It has been said that the continent was made to burn. The combination of droughts, flammable vegetation, and high winds produces seasonal fires that, in the settled areas of the southeast, scourge the land, destroying pasturage, stock, station property, and even lives. In periods of fire hazard the permits required for burning are suspended, meteorological warnin…

Coconuts in the Russell Islands
HE RUSSELL ISLANDS, a small group in the southern Solomons (Fig. I), have been the site of an extensive copra industry for nearly halfa century. Commercial coconut plantations date from about Igoo, when two planters established themselves on Banika Island-Captain Svensen at Banika Plantation on the north shore of Renard Sound, and Billy Pope at Yandina Plantation on the south shore. A few years later Lever Brothers, the largest soapmaking firm in…
Changes in Land Utilization on the Plateau of Northwestern Colorado
plateau district formed by the northern part of the Colorado Plateau and a southern extension of the Wyoming Basin. The two districts, mountainous and plateau, present more physiographic differences than they do likenesses, but there is a great deal of similarity in the history of land settlement and the course of land acquisition within them. The similarities of settlement can be attributed to the fact that a common land
Land Ownership in Middle Park, Colorado
basins, or parks to give them their local name, are the only areas between the plains to the east and the plateau country to the west which contain any important and continuous populations and any considerable proportion of privately-owned land (Figure 1). These parks had their settlement beginnings in the days of the expansion of cattle ranching throughout the western grasslands and the form and characteristics of the land ownership patterns in …
The Cities and Towns of the High Plains of Michigan
W < THEN the lumbering industry moved into the forested area of northern Michigan, there was no preexisting structure of settlement on the land. The only cultural patterns were the broad net of Indian trails and the witness trees marked by the Land Office surveys to divide the land into townships and sections. It was necessary for the lumbermen to build their own system of communication, and they built it in accordance with their needs, not with …
Functional Areas in Political Readjustment
C HANGES in the mode of occupance of an area introduce new problems and leave relict forms. The type of local government and the areas of minor political divisions designed for one way of living may succeed but poorly under another. It is suggested in the present paper that this maladjustment can possibly be relieved by changing the minor civil divisions and certain features of the local government to correspond more closely with the pattern of t…
Land Utilization in North Park, Colorado
I N VIEW of the manner in which the western cattle economy has depleted the resources of the range land, it interests a student of land utilization to find a mountain basin in which cattle ranching has, apparently at least, reached an adjustment to the character of the land which supports it. Curiosity as to the nature of the land use in North Park, Colorado, in contrast to that of the western range as a whole has prompted this examinations of so…
