Overview

Excerpt from Guidebook of the Western United States: Part C. The Santa Fe Route; With a Side Trip to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado In going from Kansas City to Los Angeles, a distance Of nearly miles, by the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway the traveler sees a wide diversity Of geographic and industrial conditions. First he crosses the Great Plains, which extend for 500 miles, to the foothills Of the Rocky Mountains. In the eastern part Of these plains the rainf all is ample for crops, so that nearly all the land is in farms and the population is moderately dense. Toward the west the climate becomes increasingly arid and farms give place to scattered cattle ranches, except along some Of the watercourses where irrigation is practicable. Running streams and groves Of trees are numerous in the eastern part, but the watercourses in the western part are much smaller and many Of them are dry in summer, and the principal trees are cottonwoods, which grow along some Of the valleys.
