GEOGRAPHY OF U.S.A. | Scholarly Categorization of US Physiographic Regions
In 1917, a paper of geologist Nevin Fenneman was published, entitled "Physiographic Subdivision of the United States". He dedicated almost all of his scholarly life in researching and presenting his system to establish a scientific but simple categorization for U.S. geographic regions on physiographic terms.
