a geographer made a theoretical satellite photo of 1850s california some time ago.

“[The Central Valley] used to have a big lake and lots of marshes from water runoff from the mountains. Dams and irrigation stopped all that many years ago. But I’ve always wondered what it looked like around here before that.”

it's kind of fascinating to look at.

one can imagine being alive in those days and looking at what whites half-assedly named "central valley" as a heavenly place on earth.
