Dever Dr. Eugene Moehring, Examination Committee Chair Professor of History University of Nevada, Las Vegas This work examines the complex socioeconomic relationship between a northwestern Arizona town and its hinterlemd from 1860-1940. During this time, Mohave County, Arizona experiences the inqpact of three industries: mining, ranching, and railroading. After 1882, mining boomtowns in the hinterland stimulate the growth of the Kingman rails iding, making it the only viable transshipment point in the county. The town's development relies on economic activities within its hinterland, national trends, and the character of its hardworking inhabitants, including its diverse racial and ethnic groups. Separate demographic profiles from 1900-1940 of Kingman and Mohave County's con^sition demonstrate changes that occur. Following the Crash of 1929, New Deal programs further energize the town's economy. The relation­ ship between Kingman êuid its hinterland throughout the town's evolution from a nineteenth century rail transshipment point to a twentieth century service center for trucking and tourism is a critical factor in the urbanization of northwestern Arizona. iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

People along the Lower Colorado River seek relief in its cool waters or frequent the nearby casinos. Thirty- five miles east of the river in Kingman a local radio personalty pledges to walk naked down Beal Street if a fund­ raiser for the Special Olyn^ics is a success. Meanwhile, citizens and tourists of the neighboring ghost town of Oatman prepare for the annual July Fourth egg-fry on Route 66's pavement. At the same time in Lake Havasu City, now home of the old London Bridge, a civic

  • HUNTER INFORMATION SHEET DESERT BIGHORN Unit 266
    HUNTER INFORMATION SHEET DESERT BIGHORN Unit 266 LOCATION: Unit 266 is situated in southern Clark County and comprises the northern portion of the Eldorado Mountains. ELEVATION: Elevations range from 656' at lake level (Lake Mohave) to 3,773' above Oak Creek Canyon. TERRAIN: Topographic features vary from rolling hills on the western margin of bighorn sheep habitat to the sheer, vertical cliffs characteristic of Black Canyon. VEGETATION: Vegetation is typical of the Mojave Desert=s creosote bush scrub community. Prominent vegetative types within this community include creosote and white bursage. LAND STATUS: The majority of the area that offers opportunities to hunt bighorn sheep lies within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and is administered by the National Park Service. A minor portion of bighorn sheep habitat is within the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, Las Vegas District. HUNTER ACCESS: Hunter access is considered good given the network of National Park Service approved roads. Some hunters opt to use boats to learn their area, and to access points which would otherwise be more difficult to reach on foot. Note: Please be aware that sections of this unit are in a wilderness area. Motorized equipment, mechanized transport, including wheeled game carriers and chainsaws, are prohibited in wilderness areas. Contact the Federal Management Agency responsible for this area for more information. MAP REFERENCE: Maps are available for purchase from BLM, or through private vendors such as Mercury Blueprint & Supply Co. (Las Vegas), Desert Outfitters (Las Vegas) or Oakman=s (Reno). At a minimum, hunters should possess the United States Geologic Survey, Boulder City 1:100,000-scale topographic map (30 x 60 minute quadrangle).

It has occupied a criti- cal structural position in the western Cordillera since Mesozoic time. In the Cretaceous through early Tertiary, it stood just east and north of major fold and thrust belts and also marked the northern end of a broad, gently (~15o) north-plunging uplift (Kingman arch) that extended southeastward through much of central Arizona. Mesozoic and Paleozoic strata were stripped from the arch by northeast-flowing streams. Peraluminous 65 to 73 Ma granites were emplaced at depths of at least 10 km and exposed in the core of the arch by earliest Miocene time. Calc-alkaline magmatism swept northward through the northern Colorado River extensional corridor during early to middle Miocene time, beginning at ~22 Ma in the south and ~12 Ma in the north.

  • 3. Affected Environment
    3. Affected Environment 3.1 Introduction This chapter provides a description of the existing social, economic, and environmental settings for the area affected by the three build alternatives and the No Build Alternative. The affected environment is described for each resource of concern in the Boulder City/ U.S. 93 Corridor Study project area. The discussion contains study methodologies, background information, descriptive data, issues, and values that have a bearing on possible impacts and mitigation measures (described in detail in Chapter 4) and on the selection of the preferred alternative. This EIS was prepared consistent with National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR 1500. et seq) and the FHWA Guidance for Preparing and Processing Environmental and Section 4(f) Documents (FHWA Technical Advisory T 6640.8A, October 30, 1987). This guidance lists potentially adverse impacts most commonly encountered by highway projects and directs that these factors should be discussed for each reasonable alternative where a potential for impact exists. Environmental and socioeconomic factors potentially impacted by the proposed project are analyzed in detail in this chapter. Factors that were found to have no potential for project-related impacts and are not discussed in this chapter are as follows: x Joint Development x Farmland x Wild and Scenic Rivers x Coastal Barriers x Coastal Zone Impacts The following additional technical studies were prepared for the Boulder City/U.S. 93 Corridor Study DEIS, and they are available through NDOT (contact Daryl James at 775/888-7013 for additional information): x Air Quality x Noise x Biological Resources x Water Quality x Wetlands x Floodplains x Archaeological Resources x Historic Resources x Land Use x Visual Resources x Economics x Social Impacts x Hazardous Waste T012004001SCO/ DRD1333.DOC/ 050740004 3-1 3.

YAVAPAI PHONOLOGY AND DICTIONARY by Alan Shaterian ABSTRACT This work will preserve the fundamental facts about the Yavapai language, the most evanescent of the Pai group of Yuman languages, a linguistic family which in its vari­ ety of members and geographic distribution is analagous to the Germanic family as of five centuries ago. The dis­ sertation explores the relationship between the pattern of speech sounds and the shape of words in Yavapai. It de­ scribes the phonology, morphology, and a part of the lex­ icon in a format which is accessible to linguists of varied theoretical backgrounds. It is the speech of Chief Grace Jimulla Mitchell (1903-1976), a speaker of the Prescott subdialect of North­ eastern Yavapai, that forms the basis of the description. The research necessary for this undertaking was spon­ sored in part by the Survey of California and Other Indian Languages at the University of California at Berkeley.
