To the man who has lived long in
the desert region the features that
impress the tenderfoot so strongly
scent commonplace. and fear of the
desert scents absurd, yet the experi-
enced traveler in the desert habitu-
ally take: precautions that-would
not occur to the inexperienced. and
if the tender-foot intends to make a.
trip into the desert. without adequate
information and equipment from the
old-time: will be quick to warn him
of its dangers.
The‘ desert region nppeaia so
strongly to the imagination or peo-
ple in all parts of the country that it
haa been made the subject of num-
erous stories and popular descriptive
articles. Some or these portray the
region falthtully and accurately.
others either magnify its perils or
go to the opposite extreme and give
the erroneous impression that the
desert la rapidly hisappearing and
will soon be largely under irrigation.
The result has been somewhat con-
fusing to those who have attempted
to gain a’coneeption of. the desert
region by reading about it.
The desert areas of the United
States are included within egreat
triangle whose base. 800 miles long.
rests upon the Mexican border in
California. Arizona and New Moxi-
co and Texas. and whose apex is in
Nortbcentral Oregon.

Water in this. as in other arid regi-

hai'e consisted chiefly ot reconnais-
sance survey: and have been em-
bodied ln reports of .a. rather dis-
tinctive type, in which the geogra-
phy. geology, and hydrology of large
parts or the desert are described.
A reconnaissance survey of this
kind has been made of the Salton
.Sea. region, which covere about 10.-
000 squarermiles in southern Cali-
fornia. This region, more than any
other in the United States. has the

the famous Imperial Valley, one of

upon the desert yet made by man.
The valley is bordered. by the
mighty Colorado. which furnises
water in atmdance to the valley.
