Pete’s, a vintage gas station in Williams, Arizona, a town of just 3,000 or so residents but a well-known place among visitors from around the world. Known as “The Gateway to the Grand Canyon” 60 miles to the north, it is the southern terminus of the scenic railroad that takes tourists there and (in 1984) was also the last town on old Route 66 to be bypassed by Interstate 40 across five southwest states. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.

An unusual double deer trophy hangs in the Round Room at the A Bar A guest ranch, near Riverside in Carbon County, Wyoming. The Round Room is the focal point for socializing and cowboy-music singalongs at the ranch. The room is filled with creations by Thomas C. Molesworth, a noted American designer whose iconic “cowboy furniture” incorporates hides, horns, and natural wood. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.

Sanctuary of the Nativity of Mary, Blessed Virgin Catholic Church, also known as the St. Mary Catholic Church, in High Hill, a little community near Schulenberg in Fayette County, Texas.

They also painted the walls and ceiling of Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in San Antonio. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.

America's first declared national monument (in 1906): Devils Tower in northeast Wyoming, also known by more benign names, including Bear Lodge, by indigenous American Indians. The National Park Service, which manages the attraction, declares each June as a "climb-free" period (with mixed success), out of respect for nearby tribes, who consider the monument sacred and loathe the “Devils Tower” name.
