Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geologic Reconnaissance of the Northern Coast Ranges and Klamath Mountains, California: With a Summary of the Mineral Resources Diller, of the U. S. Geological Survey, began work ing in northwestern California and southwestern Oregon in 1883, and during the succeeding three decades he studied much of the northern Coast Ranges and Kla math Mountains. One of his early papers, published in 1902, is a classic account of the physiographic develop ment of the area, and provides the first clear definition of the two provinces. Perhaps his most important contri burion, however, was a detailed study of the Redding 30-minute quadrangle in the eastern Klamath Mountains, where he worked out the stratigraphy and named many of the formations. Diller's stratigraphic column has with stood the test of time well and has required only minor modifications in later years.
