Tortilla Flat is Arizona's smallest town. It is hidden in a canyon along the Apache Trail just east of Canyon Lake.
Originally Tortilla Flat was a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid to late 1800s. In 1904 it became a freight camp for workers and freight haulers on their way to the construction site of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away. Today Tortilla Flat is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant, which were constructed in the late 1980s after a fire consumed the existing store and restaurant on the same site. Several hiking trails into the Superstition Mountains begin near Tortilla Flat.
In the early 1900s, Tortilla Flat was a stage stop for tourists on their way to see the Roosevelt dam.
The name "Tortilla Flat" originated from the cowboys who used to drive cattle from Globe to Phoenix. While in Phoenix, rancher Mr. Cline, and his fellow cowboys celebrated their sale, and, having a little too much to drink, forgot to get supplies while they were in town. Which is how they ended up with only flour to make tortillas when they camped at the flat and were stranded.

The historic district comprised of Flat Top Estate, now Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, is significant at the state level under National Register Criterion A as an example of a Country Place era estate. At Flat Top, Moses Cone established a gentleman's country retreat in the style of those established by American captains of industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The historic district is one of the largest and best preserved country estates in western North Carolina, incorporating a large manor house surrounded by orchards, pastures, meadows, lakes and other constructed water features, roads, and forests. The historic district is also significant at a state level under National Register Criterion B in the area of industry for its historic association with Moses Cone, who revolutionized textile manufacturing in the South, and particularly in North Carolina, during the late nineteenth century. In partnership with his brother Ceasar, Moses Cone reorganized the marketing of textiles by southern textile mills and introduced the manufacture of denim in the South. The entrepreneurial efforts of Moses Cone during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries throughout the southeast region affected this industry throughout the country. The historic district is nationally significant under National Register Criterion C in the area of landscape architecture for the planning of the estate, in particular the extensive network of carriage roads and associated plantings designed by Moses Cone. The carriage roads are among very few such systems in private estates ofthis period in this country; represent extensive and careful design and planning; and remain nearly intact today. The historic district also includes the Colonial Revival style manor house, significant at the state level in the area of Architecture. The association of the Flat Top Estate Historic District with the Blue Ridge Parkway, and its role as a recreational area along the parkway, are not considered as part of this nomination. The structures of Flat Top Estate are closely related to the surrounding environment. Archeological remains, such as trash pits, privies, wells, and other structural remains which may be present, can provide information valuable to the understanding and interpretation of the contributing structures. Information concerning land-use patterns, agricultural practices, social standing and social mobility, as well as structural details, is often only evident in the archeological record. Therefore, archeological remains may well be an important component of the significance of the structures. At this time very limited investigation has been done to discover these remains, but it is likely that they exist, and this should be considered in any development of the property.

Big Daddy Don Garlits puts the air cleaner on as he spends time in his favorite workshop doing what he does best ( other than racing) getting down and dirty while rebuilding a flat head V8 engine for a friends 1950 Ford Pickup Truck at his shop in Belleview on Tuesday November 26, 2013. Connie McConnelle was simply awestruck when she walked in and saw her meadow green engine all perfected and shiny just in time to enter her Ford truck in the Leeward Air ranch Christmas Parade. The engine will now have double the horse power and run cooler thanks to Dons helping hand. Lisa Crigar / Ocala Star-Banner

All Saints, Tilney All Saints, Norfolk
One of the best of the Marshland churches, entirely a Lincolnshire church in character, of a piece with the likes of Gedney.
In 2005, I wrote: West Norfolk is flat, but without the haunting bleakness of neighbouring Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. To be honest, it is all a bit too suburban to be mysterious, and where there aren't bungalows there is an agro-industrial busy feeling. Tilney All Saints is unusual because it is actually rather a pretty village.
All Saints is another very big church with an absolutely massive tower. The building is delightfully sleepy; ramshackle, and looking as if it would rather not be bothered too much. It reminded me a bit of a cat I used to have. The spire is like the one at nearby Walsoken, but this is a move into Decorated, and is full of confidence.
Oddly, Pevsner refers to this as one of the C12-C13 Fenland churches with very long naves, built when the land was reclaimed from the sea. While it is certainly true that evidence survives of Roman sea defences to the north of here, and there is also evidence of late Saxon attempts to prevent tidal incursions locally on a small scale, it is extremely unlikely that the technology existed in early medieval England to reclaim land from the sea on such a large scale.
Pevsner is probably confusing the Norfolk marshland with the Cambridgeshire fens, which were successfully drained by the Dutch half a millennium later. Certainly, this area was once under water; but it is the rivers themselves that have turned it to land, by bringing silt down out of Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire, and building it up into banks at the river mouths. The estuary has slowly moved northwards, but this happened long before the 12th century. We may assume that this land was more vulnerable then to inundation than it is today, but that's all.
The clerestoried and aisled nave speak of a familiar East Anglian Perpendicular. The ivy on the north side is covering windows and working its way through the north door. You enter through the vestry, which is at the west end of the south aisle and originally had two stories, not dissimilar to Terrington St John. I wondered if it had been a Priest's residence, although later I was told that it is not medieval at all, and was a school room.
You step into a glorious wide open interior, full of light. It is similarly ramshackle to the outside, laid out under a fine angel hammer-beam roof. Gorgeous Norman arcades reveal the true age of this place (again, as at Walsoken) and stretch away to the east. The capitals increase in elaboration towards the chancel, and then, just before they disappear, they jump a century and become Early English pointed arches. Turning back, you see that they are matched by the breathtaking tower arch - this is very much a church where the presiding minister gets a good view.
There is a very curious font. At first sight it appears early 17th Century, and this is the date assigned it in Pevsner and elsewhere. Its panels include two scriptural quotations in Latin, and two in English from the Geneva Bible (one reads see, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptised). One of the other panels features a Tudor rose, Unless the font was commissioned in the eight years between James I coming to the throne in 1603 and the Authorised Version of the Bible being published in 1611, it may well actually be a late 16th Century font, an unusual thing. Slightly later is the screen, dated 1618 and turned and balustered as if for a staircase in a country house. The chancel itself is full of the sobriety of the early 17th century, quite at odds with the glorious arcades behind.
A war memorial window features St George and St Martin, and there is a good Queen Anne royal arms. An old font sits on the floor in the north aisle, along with some early medieval grave slabs.
Tilney All Saints is probably less well-known than its near neighbours at Walpole, Walsoken and Terrington; but I thought it was lovely, a subtle and gently beautiful place at peace with its parish.
