Although born in Springfield, Illinois and raised in Galt, California, Helen J. Stewart became “Las Vegas’ best known and best beloved pioneer woman.” 1 Helen J. Stewart came to southern Nevada in 1882 where her husband, Archibald, had taken over the former Gass Ranch. Renamed the Stewart Ranch-- also known as the Las Vegas Ranch—Helen and Archie managed a productive farm and offered their tree-shaded springs as an oasis for travelers, miners, cattlemen, and others passing through the valley. After her husband died in 1884, Helen continued running the ranch until 1902 when she sold it to the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad. The city of Las Vegas was founded on this land in 1905. Her role in the town’s future is only one of the reasons Stewart is lovingly called the First Lady of Las Vegas.2 Helen J.

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.

  • Gained, but Also for the Geological Chronology-Particularly for the Record of Lake Lahontan Fluctuation and Deposition-It Was Anticipated Would Be Revealed
    103 IV. Projectile Points from Hidden Cave (NV-Ch-16) Churchill County, Nevada Norman L. Roust and C. W. Clewlow, Jr. In the summer of 1951, the site of Hidden Cave was excavated by N. L. Roust and G. L. Grosscup, then of the University of California. This site, located 4104 feet above sea level in an arroyo at the southwestern extension of the Stillwater Range and some seventeen miles southeast of Fallon, Nevada., was chosen at the suggestion of Professor Robert F. Heizer and Dr. Roger Morrison, not only for the archaeological information to be gained, but also for the geological chronology-particularly for the record of Lake Lahontan fluctuation and deposition-it was anticipated would be revealed. While the excavations were rewarding both archaeologically and geologically, various circumstances have intervened so that the full report of the excavation has not yet been published, although the data are on file in the manuscript records of the Archaeological Research Fpcility, Berkeley (Roust and Grosscup n.d.). There have been, however, a number of published reports on various aspects of the work accomplished. Preliminary information on the project was provided by Grosscup (1956:58-64). In 1967, an analysis of human copro- lites from Hidden Cave and other sites in the Carson -Humboldt sink area was conducted and the results reported (Ambro 1967; Roust 1967). Two fish nets from Hidden Cave were described by Ambro (1966), and various references have been made to the projectile point sequence (Clewlow 1967; O'Connell 1967). It is the aim of this paper to present a full report on the point sequence at Hidden Cave as recorded at that time.
