Excerpt from Notes on the State of Sonora
The face of the country presents every possible diversity of appearance and formation. Along the coast, from the mouth of the Colorado to the island of Tiburon, are found vast plains of barren sand, broken only by isolated short ranges of volcanic hills. Proceeding along the coast to the south, spurs from the interior ranges of mountains jut out into the sea, and make a rock-bound coast until you pass below Guaymas, when the eye rests with pleas ure on the broad and fertile valleys of the Yaqui and the Mayo rivers, backed by the great mountain mass of the Cordillera in the distance.
