The boundary, as written into law

Every American wine appellation is defined in federal regulations by walking the boundary landmark by landmark. The official description of this one begins:

(1) The beginning point is on the Carrville, California, quadrangle map on township line T38N/T37N at the northwest corner of section 5, T37N/R7W, near the Trinity River at Derrick Flat; (2) From the beginning point, follow township line T38N/T37N due east to the northeast corner of section 5, T37N/R7W; (3) Proceed due south on the eastern boundary of sections 5, 8, 17, and 20 to the northwest corner of section 28,...
