"Far, far to the North and West...Springs of Fire run ev'rywhere."
The description and geographical position of the valley hints at Brobdingnag, the nation of giants in Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726). Gulliver is abandoned by his companions on a field of giant vegetables, and is finally found by a farmer. Brobdingnag is a fictive pensinsula to the north-west of California, which is surrounded by volcanoes.
