The authors make a plea to pay more attention to \"small stories\" and \"minor geographies\" in studies on the history of geography and to employ unconventional narratives that provide insights into how geographers engage with the world, express their political and philosophical standpoints, inspire others, and lead an essentially geographical life. Personal accounts like Akatiff's do not oppose the dominant discourse of key thinkers in the discipline as it is told in textbooks, but enrich geography's history by revealing grassroots stories that are frequently overlooked in academia and downplayed as ephemeral, in this case the origins of radical geography in the United States and the legacy of geographer William Bunge. The authors argue that research must follow a more inclusive, multivocal approach that consists of listening to stories and recording narratives.","PeriodicalId":412404,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers","volume":"93 9","pages":"120 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138623628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These maps, using data collected by an army of fieldworkers and surveyors, were used by insurance underwriters to remotely assess the risk of potential clients and were bound into regularly updated volumes for each major city in the United States. However, by March 1972, Sanborn began to close shop, disposing of most of their internal archives apart from the most recently updated volumes. Recognizing the inherent value of the volumes to the field of geography, faculty from the Department of Geography at California State University, Northridge, undertook an expedition to Sanborn's San Francisco office to recover as many volumes as possible. Over the years, the recovered volumes have moved from room to room until finally finding a home in a climate-controlled office in Sierra Hall, on the CSUN campus. Our article highlights three very different endeavors using the Sanborn maps, in an effort to illustrate the value of the CSUN collection to scholarly and artistic projects: Dr. Ron Davidson's exploration of historical change in a small corner of downtown Los Angeles; Dr. Jim Craine's attempt to uncover the \"real\" 77 Sunset Strip, and Los Angeles-based artist Debra Scacco's Compass Rose Project, an ongoing installation using Sanborn pages as a metaphor for American history.","PeriodicalId":412404,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers","volume":" 3","pages":"27 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138617583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, only a series of buried bedrock ridges exists and no uplift is inferred. I briefly present thirty-three key sites of about three hundred remnants in the entire Sierra Nevada, from north of the Feather River south to the Kern River. These include Late Cretaceous strata, Eocene strata, Oligocene rhyolites, Mio-Pliocene andesites, and Quaternary basalts, some remnants on canyon floors but most on lower slopes, preserving topography at the time of deposition. I found no evidence of late-Cenozoic incision, which is required under the late-Cenozoic uplift paradigm. Instead, each site contains verifiable field evidence that challenges the uplift paradigm. Moreover, the results are consistent with the range having a common uplift history: the crest elevation, drainage topography, and relief developed in the Late Cretaceous, and only minor changes occurred in post-Eocene time. This supports uplift studies in the northern Sierra based on hydrogen and oxygen isotopes on auriferous deposits, and supports pediment ages of 40+ Ma in the southern Sierra. Uplift studies based on thermochronology and numerical modeling, on cave-sediment dating and its implied incision, and on significant denudation on benchlands cannot be reconciled with verifiable field evidence. Finally, migration of giant sequoias southwest into the Sierra Nevada was possible only from late in the Cretaceous, when the Nevadaplano came into existence and the range was high, negating any Sierran late-Cenozoic uplift paradigm.","PeriodicalId":412404,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers","volume":"121 44","pages":"121 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138609199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
