The southern limits of the Mohave Desert, California
Mazzucchelli, Vincent G.
Most geographers can locate the Mohave Desert with little or no difficulty;
however, if asked to define its limits, particularly in relationship to
the Colorado Desert on the south, most would find it difficult to do so. The
purposes of this brief paper are to reassess the varying arguments for the
southern limits of the Mohave Desert, to clarify the relationships between
certain place names - e.g., the Great Basin, the Sonoran Desert, the Colorado
Desert - and the Mohave, and to delimit in a series of maps the desert
regions under discussion.

Large landholding in the environs of Los Angeles
Steiner, Rodney
The countryside around the nation's second-ranking conurbation is a
melange of physical settings and kinds of occupance undergoing widespread
but erratic rural-to-urban metamorphosis. A neglected aspect, but
one promising better understanding, of the oft-bewildering Los Angeles
hinterland is its framework of property ownership, a sometimes influential
ingredient of both rural settlement and emergent urbanization. Pursuing
this prospect, the present article offers an exploratory picture of large private
rural properties adjacent to Los Angeles, suggesting avenues of more
intensive investigation and providing data for comparison with other
circum-metropolitan areas. Due to the breadth of its subject, the study
is arbitrarily confined to landholdings having a continuous extent of at
least two square miles and situated within seventy miles of the Los Angeles
civic center. Such properties were identified from public tax assessment
records in summer 1964, and the accompanying account stressing ownership
and utilization was subsequently compiled from a variety of sources.

The evolution of the American lemon-growing industry
Durrenberger, Robert W.
Nearly one-third of all the lemons grown in the world come from a
few fruit-growing districts in Southern California. Average annual production
over the past ten years has been about 15,000,000 boxes per year.
How did the lemon-growing industry become established in the United
States, and what factors have led to the dominant position of Southern
California in the industry?
