Biography
Carl O. Sauer, born in 1889, was a pioneering geographer whose scholarship at the University of California shaped how generations of students and colleagues understood the human imprint on the landscape.
He rests at Warrenton City Cemetery, and his thoughtful work continues to guide those who study the interplay of culture, nature, and the places we call home.
