#Mono-Inyo
I think a lot of this makes sense, but you’d have to rename places like the PNW to Cascadia and Greater Missouri to something like Arcadia b/c states won’t accept being subsumed into other states. I also disagree on how to draw the California border. It’s basically the mountain ridges.

It looks like if you do it at the county level and have a border that runs Santa Barbara, Ventura, LA, San Bern, Inyo, Mono, Alpine, you get a basically even split of 22 million to 18 million. LA gets Mammoth and some others, but Tahoe is SF territory.

Shasta, Tehama, Lassen, Modoc, Siskyou, Plumas, Butte, Trinity, Glenn, Alpine, Mono, Inyo, Amador, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Mariposa...any of them would have worked lol.

But Shasta has indeed been at the forefront of Derp a lot lately.

Wild horses near Mono Lake are cherished by tribes and equine advocates. But environmentalists say they're trampling one of California's most unique landscapes.

Federal officials say the herd has outgrown the land and will soon round up 450 horses. bit.ly/4eFcklS

450 wild horses face a roundup in Eastern Sierra as feds proceed with contested plan
Federal officials have set a date to round up and relocate 450 wild horses they say are damaging Mono Lake’s famed limestone tufas and posing a threat to drivers, a move hailed by environmentalists but heartbreaking for tribes and horse lovers who have fought to stop it. On July 8, the Inyo National Forest will begin rounding up horses from the Montgomery Pass herd roaming beyond the roughly 200,000 acres designated for them along the California-Nevada border, according to a recent news release. The horses will be taken in trailers to a corral in Modoc National Forest, where they’ll be readied for adoption. Contractors will use helicopters and other vehicles to drive the horses into a large catch pen with holding corrals. Officials say the use of helicopters is humane and carried out with measures to protect the horses, while many animal welfare advocates claim it can lead to injury and even death. A federal bill introduced last year seeks to ban the practice. The operation is planned for one to two weeks, but may finish sooner. The announcement comes more than a year after the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management approved a plan to remove hundreds...

people who moved there from the Bay Area for the natural beauty, maybe? that’s why Alpine County tends to be bluish, but that’s right by Lake Tahoe and even tinier, so I’m not sure the pattern extends to Inyo/Mono

There's both so small kinda who cares, but I wonder why Steyer is seeing these big deltas in Inyo/Mono counties but not in other rurals.

Some maps show a ring fault associated with the Mono Inyo chain- it’s not real. Hildreth et al (2021) does a wonderful job of dismantling that zombie, which keeps showing up on new maps despite being demonstrably incorrect.

The Mono-Inyo chain aren’t actually related to the caldera’s magnetic system despite the proximity (and slight overlap). Peacock et al (2015) is a good read for the location of the magmatic plumbing system.
