  • Geologic Map of the Phoenix Mountains, Central Arizona
    Geologic Map of the Phoenix Mountains, Central Arizona Julia K. Johnson, Stephen J. Reynolds, and David A. Jones Arizona Geological Survey Contributed Map 04-A Tucson, AZ 2003 Introduction The Phoenix Mountains, located within the Phoenix metropolitan area of central Arizona, are a northwest-trending, uplifted fault block that extends for about 13 km (8 miles) from Moon Hill in the northwest to Camelback Mountain in the southeast (Fig. 1). The area includes a main range, with 420 m (1,378 ft) of local relief, as well as several isolated peaks. The geologic mapping for this study covers the main part of the range, including (from northwest to southeast) Moon Hill, Shaw Butte, North Mountain, Stoney Mountain, Dreamy Draw, Squaw Peak, and the informally named Quartzite Ridge. The main goals of this study were to document the bedrock geology, reconstruct the geologic history, and produce a 1:24,000 geologic map of the range. The area contains a remarkable stratigraphic sequence that records the formation of continental crust in the region as it evolved from an oceanic setting to a more continental setting. The rocks have been cleaved and steeply tilted, providing a well-exposed traverse through this exceptional sequence. The range also contains spectacular Proterozoic (Precambrian) structures, which document the extreme deformation that affected the crust soon after it had formed. Lookout Moon Mtn.

  • Lollesgard Postcards Collection
    ARIZONA HISTORICAL SOCIETY 949 East Second Street Library and Archives Tucson, AZ 85719 (520) 617-1157 [email protected] PC 238 Lollesgard Postcard Collection 1935 - 1957 DESCRIPTION The Lollesgard Postcard collection represents the remaining stock from the Lollesgard Specialty Company of Tucson Arizona. The collection contains two distinct parts one with postcards and greeting cards and a second portion of photographs and negatives. The postcards consist of real cards (primarily from the Frashers Inc.), linen or art cards, and chrome cards. The cards were produced from the late 1940s to the 1970s. All have divided backs. Nineteen postcard scrapbooks contain representative samples of postcards available for customer purchase. Five boxes consist of loose cards representing stock cards carried by store. These cards have been arranged by postcard type and then topically by major theme or city for which they represent. Two small boxes house greeting cards with western themes also sold by Lollesgard. The photos and negatives represent images taken or purchased by Lollesgard for consideration in postcard development. Most of the images were not developed into cards and are therefore unique to the postcard portion of the collection. They have been arranged topically as they originally came. 42 Boxes, 21 linear ft. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Holger A. “Lolly” Lollesgard was the founder and owner of the Lollesgard Specialty Co. Inc. of Tucson Arizona. He was born in 1893 and was a descendant of the pioneer Alstrup family of Chicago and the Von de Reke Lollesgard family of Denmark. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1915 and participated in World War I with the 303rd Cavalry Regiment.

  • As Phoenix Was Expanding to the North and Scottsdale Was Expanding to West and North, the Residents Of
    TOWN OF PARADISE VALLEY HISTORY May 25, 2001 During the late 1800’s, cattle grazed in the area surrounded by the McDowell Mountains to the east and Camelback Mountain to the south. In the 1880’s, the Rio Verde Canal Company turned this open grazing area into irrigated farmland. In 1889, the Rio Verde Canal Company sent three surveyors to this area who were so taken by the beauty and tranquility of the desert landscape that they named this area Paradise Valley. Settlement in Paradise Valley did not begin in earnest until post World War II. Paradise Valley, which is in Maricopa County, was a rural residential area with few commercial entities. Though the homes were modest in size and style, they were on large parcels of land, usually one to five acres. In the late 1950’s, Phoenix and Scottsdale were looking to expand their respective boundaries. Residents who lived in Paradise Valley area feared that they would lose the rural lifestyle they had become accustomed to and would soon be swallowed up by Phoenix or Scottsdale, and eventually subdivisions, shopping centers, new zoning laws and property taxes would be a commonly. These concerned residents formed a “Citizens Committee for the Incorporation of The Town of Paradise Valley, Arizona,” who set out with petitions urging residents to join them in their attempt to incorporate Paradise Valley. The residents' main goals were to keep zoning to a one house per acre minimum; to keep the area entirely residential; and to keep government regulation to a minimum. In April 1961, the Citizens Committee for Incorporation presented their petition to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
