Hey thanks for watching! A couple things: I have a patreon where I share map backgrounds from videos as well as the actual scripts, you can find that here: www.patreon.com/johnnyharris I had custom presets & luts that I use to color my videos and photos. I developed them over a year with a professional colorist. In incase that’s interesting to you, here they are: store.dftba.com/collections/johnny-harris/products/johnny-iz-luts-and-presets Lastly, let me know if there is a video you’d like me to make, I’m always on the lookout for ideas and want to know what you’d like to see: www.johnnyharris.ch/submit-ideas

When did California stop being an island? It took more exploration, but by 1747 King Ferdinand VI of Spain was convinced. He issued a decree stating that California was -- once and for all -- not an island. It took another century for cartographers to completely abandon the notion.

The map is not entirely a mistake since the today's California entire Central Valley was once one of the largest lakes on the continent. If explorers saw this lake (which was brackish in some parts) they could easily have thought that California was an island. Though this large lake is almost completely gone today, it's remnants & deposits are why California is the most agriculturally prolific land in the world today.

I studied Californian history in college. I had one excellent class that was centered on the idea that California is, in fact, an island, in spite of being quite firmly attached to North America. Politically, historically, culturally, ecologically, geologically, it is separated from the rest of the continent. It was home to far and away the most cultural and linguistic diversity in pre-contact North America. It’s home to a dizzying array of endemic and unique species. It’s charted a separate political course since joining the Union. And it’s hard to get to. California is an island, even though it’s also not.

Good moment to remind you all that the original California is actually Baja California. American California was originally called Higher California for being the territory north of California, but since it became the popular one, the old California changed its name to Southern California. The California that all those legends and myths refer to and the one that was mistaken for an island for centuries, is actually Baja California.

So, if you're a map guy, I know that you know that cartographers were notorious for cheating by copying other cartographer's maps. It only took one guy to accidently get it wrong,(or lie). Who can afford to go check? They eventually started placing islands that didn't exist so they could see who was copying their legit work. #sandyislanddoesntexist

@chelloho Год назад

Fun fact: cartographers still do that to this day, but with fake parks, streets, sometimes entire towns.

@GeographyGeek Год назад

There were no copyright laws during the Island of California days. It's not that they cheated as much as professional cartographers were not typically explorers and so they relied on the accounts of others which included from other nations and maps. Sometimes they were not sure was correct but went with what seemed like the most credible theory. It wasn't brought up in the video but it's common to see the same cartographer have maps published in the same few years that actually contradict each other.

@@ColFlustered As sailors (I'm retired Navy) we know our navigation extremely well. That means we can sail along the coast of somewhere and take sightings. We know where we are so we can tell where something else is if we can see it. By plotting those sighting out we can create maps. Not only did those sail era sailors plot the land, they also charted the off shore soundings (depths) and seabed material (for anchoring). It's just hard work but very doable if you got your navigation skills. Fair winds!

Bittersweet feelings from this video. As a Mexican with great memories when I lived in Ensenada, Baja California I really enjoyed understanding why the peninsula was drawn as an island for so long. I was first introduced to it in a historical museum in Ensenada and I couldn't understand how Baja California passed from an island to a peninsula to an island again. On the other hand, kinda sad that these feelings of the "magic" land of success are associated nowadays only with American California. Don't get me wrong. Baja California is a beautiful place. I felt in love with all it's ecosystems. However, passing the border from Tijuana to San Diego always left me with a kinda sad feeling. Baja California and California split exactly the developing countries of Latin America and the first world. You can feel the economical consequences of history right there.

CA will shift north over time. Long after the cities have ground o dust, what was once LA will be a suburb of Seattle. But yeah, for a long time people thought it would separate, but the faults are wrong for that. San Andreas is a transform fault, with right-lateral strike slip, ie, its shifting along north south axis, with the pacific plate shifting northerly along the slower moving NA plate. Unlike the movies, we wont become an island. Caveat: there is some geological evidence that Baja may split off as there is a smaller fault with an east/west bearing around the salton sea spreading center. This could force baja to split away from CA itself

I really enjoy looking at maps when I come across them, but this story may stem a whole new thing for me, as if I need something new to collect 🤣

As a critic of your second to last video, I would like to say thank you for making the improvements to your storytelling process. I know firsthand the importance of making relatable and interesting stories to help get people to learn history, and I also know how hard it is to make sure things are as accurate as possible considering that. Thank you for being willing to change to create better, more accurate, and highier quality videos. Please keep up this progress because we definitely appreciate it!

@thisiscrazy4122 Год назад

Hear hear, I was also impressed by that he added the sources for the video. I'm loving it !

Except after saying that they have no evidence that Cortez is reading this book... The storytelling hinges on Cortez reading a book there is no evidence to suggest he read. I'm not sure why he can't tell an interesting story without needing to make things up...

you guys are sorta lame... it's youtube entertainment not a doctoral thesis

@SomeOne-wj3ti Год назад

I love how you use social media jargon to explain maps of all things. You'd be a great teacher Harry. I bet lots of kids would remember their classes to the T if they were told in a similiar fashion, adults included of course. Cheers!

@dansanders9121 Год назад

One thing I love about your videos, is that you also have a deep seeded appreciation for maps, both as objects by which we teach other aspects of history, culture, etc. but also as objects of artistic beauty by themselves. From one map lover to another, I salute you sir.

This is not just another RU-vid content. It's crazy how these contents are free and the fact that they're also well-presented makes these videos more entertaining. Great vid as always, Johnny! Cheers!

@damunzy Год назад

They're only free because of the ads through RU-vid and integrated ads. His videos, while entertainingly made, really aren't that good in the information department.

It’s well documented that central California used to flood with some degree of seasonality. I’m curious if this has played into any hypotheses as to why California was perceived as an island by some but not others.

@sophiarichard2101 Год назад

How are you doing?

@r.m.strong Год назад

If you speak with " listen " to indigenous oral history. There is record of California's desserts being flooded by ocean . There is even stories of spanish ships sailing in , them becoming grounded and stranded .

@JeffAboularage Год назад

The journals of the old Vaqueros chronicled pastures in California as green as Europe in the 1500 and 1600s. They literally sat around all day while the cattle grazed, no migrating, no looking for water. It is said, that the Spanish were able to make a good horse because of this.

The San Francisco Bay went further east than it does today and actually connected with the central Valley.

@JeffAboularage Год назад

@@shells500tutubo Yes the Remnants can be seen in the landscape around the delta. The soil is definitely that of an ocean floor that existed not too long ago.

It's been ages since I caught one of Harris' vids. Now I'm glad, because finally returning confirms that it is still as contrived and self absorbed as I foggily remember from back in '21 or '20. 🤦🏼‍♂️
