Western Landscapes, Western Images: a Rephotography of U.S WESTERN LANDSCAPES, WESTERN IMAGES: A REPHOTOGRAPHY OF U.S. HIGHWAY 89 by JAMES EDWARD WELLS II M.A., Ohio University, 2006 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2012 Abstract The American West is a land of great diversity and stark contrast. It is also a landscape marked by rapid change as a result of such forces as globalization, population growth, and heightened interest in natural resources (either for recreation or extraction). This dissertation investigates these changes to the region through a repeat photography analysis. Between 1982 and 1984, Thomas and Geraldine Vale traveled along U.S. Highway 89 from Glacier National Park, Montana to Nogales, Arizona. Their subsequent work, Western Images, Western Landscapes: Travels Along U.S. 89 (University of Arizona Press, 1989), contained fifty-three photographs from this journey, representing a cross section of the West from border to border. Nearly every facet of the region was represented, from the remote prairie landscapes of Montana to the bustling Phoenix downtown, and from the largest open pit mine in the world to seldom visited corners of Yellowstone National Park. Between March 2009 and August 2010, I retraced the steps taken by the Vales and successfully rephotographed all of the locations contained within their book. The observed continuity or change is examined thematically in order to address the landscapes and cultures of the West in greater detail. Specifically, chapters within this dissertation visually and textually describe changes that have occurred along national borders, within Native American reservations, throughout the rural landscapes and national parks of the region, within the many resource extraction industries, and within towns and cities of every size. Significant findings, which are well depicted in the photographic pairings, include heightened national security along the borders, problems of overuse in many parks and protected areas, the transition of traditional small towns into communities increasingly dependent upon tourism for survival, and both beautification and revitalization efforts taking place in the urban cores of Phoenix and Salt Lake City. By painting a vivid picture of recent Western geography, this research provides for greater ability for residents and scholars of the region to understand the forces at work within their communities and surroundings.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

  • Directions to Hiking to Coyote Buttes & the Wave
    Coyote Buttes/The Waves Ron Ross December 22, 2007 Coyote Buttes is located in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness just south of US¶89 about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona. The wilderness area sits on the border between Arizona and Utah and is managed by the BLM. It is divided into two areas: Coyote Buttes North and Coyote Buttes South. To visit either of the Coyote Buttes areas you will need to purchase a hiking permit in advance (see https://www.blm.gov/az/paria/index.cfm?usearea=CB). Only 20 people per day (10 advanced reservations and 10 walk-ins) are allowed to hike in, and separate permits are required for the North and South sections. The walk-in permits can be acquired off the web, from the BLM office in Kanab, or from the Paria Ranger Station near the Coyote Buttes. The Northern section of Coyote Buttes is by far the most popular, as it contains the spectacular sandstone rock formations, pictured below, known as the Wave and the Second Wave. As a result of their popularity, getting permits for the Northern section is very competitive and often results in a lottery to select the lucky folks for a particular day. The Southern section also contains some outstanding sandstone formations known as the Te- pees. However, the road to the southern section can be very sandy and challenging, even for high- clearance 4x4 vehicles. As a result, walk-in permits for the Southern section are widely available. COYOTE BUTTES NORTH—THE WAVE Trailhead The hike to the wave begins at the Wire Pass Trailhead about 8 miles south of US¶89 on House Rock Valley Road.
