Abstract: Welcome to the latest volume of the Yearbook of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers, the eighty-fifth in our association's long history. From its inception, the Yearbook has celebrated the rich trove of geographic inquiry found in our region and beyond, while at the same time serving as the publication of record for all things relating to our annual meetings. This volume continues that tradition, complementing the original research of our members with the abstracts, awards, and related commentary from our October 2022 meeting in Bellingham, Washington.Occasionally, unexpected connections and themes emerge from the manuscripts published in any given volume. This year, careful readers will note a ... Read More

Abstract: Clark Akatiff was born in San Francisco in 1937. He attended San José State College (1955–60), where he studied art, history, and philosophy, and ultimately was recruited into geography by Professor Michael McIntyre. As a graduate student he attended UCLA, where he completed a master's thesis on the relevance of Ellsworth Huntington. An ABD, his dissertation on the San Joaquin Valley was never completed. At UCLA he studied under Joseph E. Spencer, Howard Nelson, and Norman Thrower. After a brief academic career (1966–72), he worked at various jobs such as archeological mitigation and construction labor. He has lived in Palo Alto, California, since 1971, and since 1983 has worked for the City of Palo Alto in the ... Read More

Abstract: In 1990, I was pursuing a teaching certificate at Ohio University. My degree in foreign policy wasn't working out so well. I had studied the Soviet Union for the previous four years and it had recently gone "out of business." To teach Social Studies in Ohio, I had to supplement my Political Science degree with a bunch of history courses and, miraculously, one Human Geography course. I enrolled in Introduction to Cultural Geography, a course taught by Hubert Wilhelm. Dr. Wilhelm had been a student of Fred Kniffen's at LSU and was nearing retirement, yet he lectured with an intensity that surprised me every day. This guy loved teaching, but it was also really obvious that he loved geography. I had been in college for ... Read More

Abstract: Established in 1867, the Sanborn Map Company is one of the oldest continuously operating American cartographic firms. Today known for its work as a geospatial consultant and data provider, Sanborn built its reputation on publishing highly detailed maps of urban America, generally at 1:600 scale (1 inch equaling 50 feet). Issued primarily for the insurance industry, Sanborn maps allowed for underwriters to remotely assess risk, speeding up their ability to conduct business. Sanborn surveyors went out in the field instead of the agents, personally collecting all the data. They walked every building, going through each floor. Surveyors measured the structures and how thick the walls were, noted building materials and ... Read More

Abstract: As young geography students in Townsville, North Queensland, in the 1970s, we studied geomorphology, biogeography, climatology, quantitative techniques, and more. One day our head, Professor John Oliver, came with an announcement. A man named Percy Trezise, who lived further north in Cairns, was seeking four student research assistants to locate and record Indigenous artworks in an extremely remote area of Cape York Peninsula (Figure 1). As an airline pilot, Percy had regularly flown over the remote, hilly country and became increasingly curious about what might be found there. Accompanied by Indigenous men, he had driven north from his home in Cairns and found some intriguing and previously unknown Indigenous ... Read More

Abstract: Professor Carl Ortwin Sauer (1889–1975) was a remarkable scholar and teacher who made an important impact on the discipline of geography. While there are already many papers and books written about Sauer, very few papers address the entire course of his intellectual history in depth. Scholarly writings on Sauer include publications focusing on aspects of his academic life and achievements by John Leighly, James Parsons, David Hooson, Marvin W. Mikesell, Michael Williams, William Denevan, and Kent Mathewson, to name several examples. Denevan's comprehensive and detailed "Bibliography of Commentaries on the Life and Work of Carl Sauer" is an impressive collection of more than five hundred items (Denevan and Mathewson ... Read More

Abstract: The title of this paper may appear enigmatic, esoteric, or even confusing at first glance. Who is Dr. Ack' Where and why is he riding again' How' On horseback or on a motorcycle' Where does the banjo come from' And why is this an important and relevant topic for an academic article' The person behind this Dr. Ack is California-born geographer Clark Akatiff, an eyewitness of and primary source for the early history of radical geography in the United States, who, in the bloom of his eighty-five years of age, continues, metaphorically, steady in geography's saddle sharing his sixty-something-year-long experience as a geographer that can serve as inspiration for others (Figure 1).Portrait of Clark Akatiff, January ...

Abstract: This manuscript covers fieldwork that I, usually with William A. "Bill" Peppin, have conducted since 2013. Back in late October of that year we made our last field trip, which was good, having turned seventy and our aging bodies telling us it is time to retire. Enough with steep, unstable slopes that in some instances could be fatal if you fell. We each wrote a manuscript and then compared results. It is instructive how one can do joint fieldwork and yet perceive some evidence differently, and since the devil is in the details, we had to work out language we both could accept. In December I wrote a manuscript for the APCG 2014 Yearbook, which included five K-Ar dates of 14.1, 19.4, 28.8, 31.8, and 46.0 Ma (million ... Read More

Abstract: APCG members gathered in Bellingham, Washington, for the Eighty-Fourth Annual Meeting on the campus of Western Washington University (WWU). Most of the 110 attendees came in person, but this was a fully hybrid conference with some attendees and presenters engaging online from elsewhere in the region.Bellingham is located on the shores of the Salish Sea, on the ancestral homelands of the Lummi Nation and the Nooksack Tribe, just a few miles from the U.S.-Canada border. This is an intriguing location for geographers due to the rugged and varied local topography and the city's nearness to an international border. Field trips on Thursday took participants into the Cascade Mountains, through the urban landscape of ... Read More

Abstract: Whereas, Western Washington University has hosted this eighty-fourth meeting of the APCG to tremendous success, fostering geographic scholarship and camaraderie among attendees from throughout the APCG region while also imbuing this conference with an exceptional sense of place, so that we all now know just a bit more about what makes this community and this bioregion so special, andWhereas, we also thank the community of Bellingham, the county of Whatcom, and in fact the entire lowlands of the Salish Sea for their wholesale appropriation of Southern California's climate for the benefit of this very meeting. As of this reading, at least six members of the sizable contingent from California are rumored to, in fact ... Read More

Abstract: Cy Abbott, cya@uoregon.edu, University of Oregon. Artefacts of a Discipline at Work: Tracing the Geographer's Influence Through the "Cartographic Records of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace." At the 1919–1920 Paris Peace Conference that concluded the First World War, geographers and cartographers brought together under the leadership of the American Geographical Society (AGS) were called upon to actively contribute mapping that was employed to influence policy decisions around border delineation. Specifically, the Greco-Turkish border became uniquely differentiated from other ongoing delineations by these American academics' involvement in the peace process. The preserved archival records of these experts ... Read More
