Ourika Valley, Morocco

Where do the people of the High Atlas live?  Certainly not where crops could be grown.  They avoid the flat and terraced land along the stream.  Their villages perch above the oasis on land that has no productive potential.  Morocco's settlement geography is finely attuned to the ability of the resource base to sustain human existence in a dry environment.  [2005]
