The question is based on the “Glamis SE, California” quadrangle shown below (Figure 46-7); a stereogram of the same area is shown in Figure 46-3. The map shows a region of mostly transverse sand dunes in southeastern California (32°50'46"N, 115°00'21"W). Note that many depression contours are used on this map, but they are difficult to read because of the sand stippling.
