Description:Excerpt from Glaciation of the Puget Sound Region The name Puget Sound was originally given by Vancouver to that portion of these inland arms of the sea which lies south of the Narrows near Tacoma. Vancouver distinguished two other main portions of these inlets; Hoods Canal and Admiralty Inlet. His usage was respected by Wilkes of the United States Exploring Expedition a half century later, but today the term Puget Sound embraces all three portions and is frs quently used to include all marine waters connected with the Strait Of Juan de Fuca south of the International boundary line. In this broad sense it is used in the title of this paper. The depression of Puget Sound is genetically synclinal, be longing to the most western synclinorium of North America. The Gulf of Georgia north of it, and the Willamette valley Of Oregon, the Great Valley Of California and the Gulf of Cali fornis south of it are likewise portions Of this structural trough. There are interruptions in it, and different parts have doubtless had different histories. The Puget Sound depression itself is partially interrupted by a mountainous spur of the Cascades extending diagonally across toward the northwest, just north of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The mountain range of Van couver Island is perhaps a continuation of the spur. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
