  • 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.

    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.
