Notes:  We take so many of these features for granted (granite?).  It’s fun to read that Wagon Mound was part of two lava flows, or near Santa Rosa are tar sands containing 90 million barrels of oil.  There are hundreds of these throughout the book.  A book to keep in the car, or one for the bookshelf and one for the car.  For an obituary of Chronic, a really remarkable woman, see https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/gjsentinel/name/halka-chronic-obituary?id=6989324
