113 - Golsovia, Alaska

On Norton Sound, S of Unalakleet. Now seems to exist largely as a river name.

112 - Fischer, Texas

25mi. W of San Marcos.

Seeds of the community were sown in 1876 with more than 3,000 acres acquired by brothers Herman and Otto Fischer. Herman claimed and stuck with 160 acres, building a small 3-section “dog trot” cabin -- part of it becoming the original Fischer’s store and the hub of “Fischerdale.” Otto, however, thought 3,000 acres would be more suitable for a livestock operation. It makes sense, then, that Herman became known as “Store” Fisher, and Otto known as “Stock” Fisher.

Over the years, Fischer’s store expanded far beyond its mercantile role to also become the community’s post office, “bank” and saloon -- the original 3-section cabin giving way to a larger frame building. At about 1900 it became the frame and tin structure we know today. Never one to miss a business opportunity, “Store” Fischer established a thriving cotton gin across the road at a spot now marked by two cedar trees in the open field.

Progress also brought name changes to Fischerdale, which quickly became Fischer’s Store. However, with the post office came a forced name change to simply Fischer, so the postmark wouldn’t “advertise” the store.

Here's a tractor patent by Fischer resident Kevin Wilson:

110 - Delle, Utah

80mi. a of Salt Lake City.

Delle is a small enclave in Tooele County, Utah, along Interstate 80 near the Bonneville Salt Flats. The town has never had more than a few residents and has served primarily as a filling station along the I-80 corridor (and U.S. Route 40 corridor before it). Since the completion of the freeway the town has essentially become a ghost town.

109 - Chama, New Mexico

In the San Juan Mountains, just S of the Colorado line.

108 - Bassett, Nebraska

S of the Niobeara River, between Newport and Long Pine. "A shipping point for wild hay, the town was named for J.W. Bassett, a rancher, who drove the first herd of cattle into the section in 1871."

10mi. NE of Carbondale. Home to an octagonal schoolhouse, built in 1840:

122 - Eastern Island, Palmyra Atoll, Pacific Ocean

1200mi. SW of Hawaii. Part of an off-and-on inhabited Palmyra Atoll, ruled in an unincorporated fashion by the USA (and owned, since 2000, by the Nature Conservancy).

In 1859, Palmyra was claimed by Dr. Gerrit P. Judd of the brig Josephine for the American Guano Company and the United States, in accordance with the Guano Islands Act of 1856; however, the company never started mining for guano, because there was none to be mined.

Also, here's a delicious quote from the Palmyra wikipedia page, about the ungratefully conserved wildlife of Palmyra:

The main problem was the "Goonie" birds. Feasting in the evening, they could be drenched by the rain and become unable to return to their roosting grounds. Being attracted by the camp lights, they stopped over and usually regurgitated their meal all over the camps.

114 - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Smack in the middle of Oahu.

Here's what the 1915 Aloha Guide has to say:

113 - Veniaminof Volcano, Alaska

Midway up the Alaskan Peninsula, W of Chignik.



Wikipedia:

Mount Veniaminof is an active stratovolcano located on the Alaska Peninsula. The Alaska Volcano Observatory currently rates Veniaminof as Aviation Color Code Green and Volcano Alert Level Normal. The mountain was named after Ioann (Ivan Popov) Veniaminov (1797-1879), a Russian Orthodox missionary priest whose writings on the Aleut language and ethnology are still standard references.
The volcano was the site of a colossal (VEI 6) eruption around 1750 BC. This eruption left a large caldera. In modern times the volcano has had numerous small eruptions (over ten of them since 1930); these are located at a cinder cone in the middle of the caldera.
Veniaminof has one of the highest elevations of Alaskan volcanoes. Partly for this reason, it is covered by a glacier that fills most of the caldera. Because of the glacier and the caldera walls, there is the possibility for a major flood from a glacier run at some point in the future.

111 - Uvalde, Texas

80mi. W of San Antonio.

111 - Templeton, California

20mi. N of San Luis Obispo.

110 - Shedd, Oregon

In the Wilammette Valley, between Eugene and Corvalis.

Wikipedia history:

In 1858, a community and gristmill was established about a mile and a half east of the present town of Shedd and called Boston, probably because one of the founders came from Boston, Massachusetts.] Boston was platted in 1861 with a New England-style town square. The town became a stagecoach stop, and Boston Mills post office was established in 1869. Efforts to get the Oregon and California Railroad, which was being built south from Albany, to come through Boston Mills were unsuccessful. When the railroad was instead built through the nearby town of Shedd's Station in 1871, the post office was moved and the name changed to Shedds, after Captain Frank Shedd, on whose land the community was started. All of Boston's buildings, except the mill itself, were also moved west to the railroad. In 1899 the railroad changed the name of the station to Shedd, but the name of the post office didn't change until 1915.

109 - Richfield, Kansas

In the SW corner of the state, on the North Fork of the Cimarron.

108 - Quinn, South Dakota

Just N of Badlands National Monument. Some trivia: Population: 44. Street-wise, Quinn's Quincy St. turns back into Quinn Rd. once you cross Wall Dump Grounds Rd. Google search results returned for "Wall Dump Grounds": 0.

Quinn is home to the Badlands Observatory, a remotely operated telescope that takes advantage of some of the darkest night skies in the continental USA. The town and the local electric company have even cooperated to make sure that the local streetlights were either removed or rendered non-upwardly-polluting. Pretty cool—small-town astronomy.

107 - Pelsor, Arkansas

In the Boston Mountains.
