Eastern California does not fit the stereotypes of California, and is more related in culture and geography to southeastern . Eastern California is also very sparsely populated (except for the area around Lake Tahoe ), and tends to be politically Conservative , much like the rest of the rural Western United States . Historically, Eastern California has had strong ties to Nevada, with the exact boundary between the two states in some dispute1. Residents of portions of near Susanville, California tried to break away from California in the 1856, first by declaring themselves part of the Nataqua Territory 2, and then through annexation to Nevada. The two states further squabbled over ownership of Susanville in 1863. The town of Aurora, Nevada was temporarily the county seat of both Mono County, California and Esmeralda County, Nevada . Finally, the line between the two states was settled by a survey in 1872 . Geologically, Eastern California is mostly part of the Basin And Range Province , marked by crustal extension, with Horst s and Graben s. Volcanism is also very evident in this region. REFERENCES |
