Sinopsis
Excerpt from California Notes, Vol. 1
These valleys are largest in the vicinity of the Bay of San Francisco and its tributaries. Here there is a break in the mountain chains. As the spurs from the north trend toward the bavs of Suisun, San Pablo, and San Francisco, they spread out like the fingers of a rocky hand. Between these giant digits lie some of the most picturesque valleys in the State. Among these may be mentioned Petaluma, Sonoma, Napa, Suisun and Vaca; while further north, where the fingers unite with the palm, Clear Lake, sur rounded by little valleys, reposes in the embrace of the mountains. South of the Bay of San Francisco, the two main ridges of the Coast mountains stand back from the bay, forming the fertile Santa Clara Valley. In Contra Costa County the Mount Diablo group is flanked on all sides by numerous productive valleys.

Excerpt from California Notes, Vol. 1
This arrangement of the physical features of the State holds good for a length of 400 miles, in the direction of the main axial line, and this division of California is the largest and by far the most impor tant, comprising almost the whole of the agricultural and the greater part of the mining districts, and may be designated as Central California; that portion to the south of a line drawn at right angles to the main axial line, or N. 59° E. - S. 59° W., through Fort Tejon, may be called the Southern Division; that north of a parallel line passing through Fort Reading, may be also designated as the Northern Division of the State.
