Arizona's Scenic Byways i 4 OOO @H I!IOAW$\ I Sept e mber/ Oct ober 2 007 • liC Road Signs to on e ~y David M. Brown ATHS CUT BY THE AREA'S EARLIEST NATIVE AMERI CAN INHABITANTS and their pioneer successors; a trail of the conquista­ dors seeking golden cities in the north; scenic roads that celebrate eons of up­ lift and erosion in canyons, spires, ntr­ rets, buttes, monoliths and mesas - in Arizona, the journey is the destination. Getting there is at least as significant as where you're going, and the downside of driving is that you have to keep your eyes on the road and not on the glori­ ous roadside.

As it sinuously follows the course of the Salt River, the road passes Gold­ field Ghost Town, a reconstruction of a quick-to-be-built and quick-to-die town of the 1800s; Lost Dutchman State Park, recalling Jacob Waltz, the German (not Dutch) miner who left ornery clues to where his gold cache could be found; challenging Fish Creek Hill; and two marinaed lakes, Canyon and Apache. T he road terminates at Roosevelt Lake, created by the 357-foot-high Roosevelt Dam. In 1996, the dam was raised to its current height and a 1080-foot-long bridge was added ­ the longest, two-lane, single-span, steel-arch bridge in North America. To dedicate the original structure in 1911, President T heodore Roosevelt made the rough ride along the trail, built to supply construction materials for the dam. At the dam, travelers can also enjoy boating and fishing out of its marina or proceed on State Route (SR) 188 north toward Payson and the MogoUon Rim communities, or continue along SR 88, with a stop at the ruins of Tonto National Monument. From Globe, pick up the complementary 39-mile Gila-Pinal Scenic Road (SR 60, MP 214.5 to MP 240.5), which loops back to Phoenix through high-desert vistas, north, visiting an idyUic stretch leading trek into the plant- and wildlife-rich and, in weU-irrigated springtimes, past to the grandest of all places on Earth.

  • Arizona Highways
    CUMULATIVE INDEX· ARIZONA HIGHWAYS VOLUME 1, 1925 through VOLU~IE 27, 1951 ARTICLES appearing in ARIZONA HIGHWAYS from volume 1 in 1925 through volume 27 in 1951 are indexed here under author and subject. Indexing is similar to that found in READERS' GurnE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE; each article is listed under the heading or headings most closely indicating the general subject matter. This is not a detailed analytical index to contents of articles. The user will find, for instance, those articles which deal with Katchinas, but not the names of various Katchinas discussed in the articles. Very general headings such as DESCRIPTION have been used only where more specific headings were not possible. A series of tall tales which appeared during early years of the magazine have been listed under that heading. Portraits have been indexed wherever there was a clear likeness. Group por­ traits have been incJuded when likenesses were clear and recognizable. There is a special index to color illustrations which have been an outstanding feature of ARIZONA HrGHWAYS for the past 10 years. Generally each picture has been listed under a single subject, the one which in the fallible judgment of the compiler, seemed most appropriate. It is hoped this will be of use to teachers and armchair travelers. ♦ COMPILED BY DONALD M.

  • Geologic Map Index of Arizona
    DEPARTMENT ·OF THE INTERIOR UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP INDEX OF ARIZONA Compiled by Willard L. Mcintosh and Margaret F. Eister 1975 GENERAL INFORMATION Geologic map indexes include maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey, State and commercial organizations, universities, and professional societies. Geological Survey open-file reports and maps also are shown, but no attempt is made to include theses or open-file material of other organizations. All maps outlined on the index are at a scale 1:250,000 or larger. All show areal geology in as much detail or more than the State geologic maps. The formal publications can be consulted in many large public and university libraries. Inquiries about cost and availability of maps not published by the U.S. Geological Survey should be directed to the individual publisher and not to the U.S. Geolog­ ical Survey. The map areas on this index are keyed to one or more bibliographic citations. Some map areas may refer to geologic re­ ports containing one or more areal maps and several very large-scale locality maps, of which only the areal coverage is outlined; reference is made to the locality maps in the citation. The index is separated into three scale ranges. Map outlines represent­ ative of two or more of these ranges will appear on two or more of the index sheets. References to open-file reports and maps are followed by letter symbols designating libraries where they can be consulted. All depositories are U.S. Geological Survey offices unless a State Geological Survey or other organization is specifically indi­ cated.

  • U.S. Route 191 Curves Into the Pines Near Hannagan Meadow in Eastern Arizona’S White Mountains
    U.S. Route 191 curves into the pines near Hannagan Meadow in Eastern Arizona’s White Mountains. This section of U.S. 191 is known as the Coronado Trail. RANDY PRENTICE 16 JULY 2018 www.arizonahighways.com 17 EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s been almost 60 years since we first did a story like this. The original, which was titled When the Open Road Calls, ran in our September 1960 issue. The tour that year began in Monument Valley and ended at Gila Bend. It was a 10-day trip, and we gave it 20 pages. This time around, we’ve set aside the entire feature well — 36 pages — for Matt Jaffe’s re-creation of the ultimate Arizona road trip. Although many things have changed since Joyce Rockwood Muench and her husband, Josef, made their journey, the theme remains the same: There’s nothing like a summer road trip in Arizona. So, throw the kids in the station wagon, buckle up and hit the road. olling down U.S. Route 60, past the old gem store and an abandoned two-story building in Morristown, my wife, Becky, and I recognize the mix of wistfulness and exhilaration com- ing over us as the Arizona outback gives way to Outback Steakhouse and the other unsur- Rprising franchises of suburban Surprise. It’s the end of a 12-day, 2,100-mile road trip up, down and across Arizona. The inspiration for the drive came from a September 1960 Arizona Highways article by Joyce Rockwood Muench about an epic journey through the state that she and her husband, acclaimed photographer and maga- zine contributor Josef Muench, took six decades ago.
