Barren regions, especially in the western United States,
where horizontal strata (Tertiary deposits) have been often
eroded into fantastic forms, and much intersected by
ca[~n]ons, and where lack of wood, water, and forage
increases the difficulty of traversing the country, whence
the name, first given by the Canadian French, Mauvaises
Terres (bad lands).
