Notes

  1. Scanned on December 6, 2014 from a picture album prepared by Hilda Ida Brunken.
  2. The Gloss Mountains are rugged red mesas covered with selenite crystals that cause them to sparkle in the sunlight. The Gloss Mountains are sometimes called the Glass Mountains because of the high Selenite content that mimics a shiny glass exterior.
