- Restoration of an Early Aviation Age Geoglyph: Somewhere out in the Sonoran Desert, about 20 miles east of downtown Mesa, a giant landmark points the way to Phoenix. East Valley residents have seen the landmark on a hill in the Usery Mountain Recreation Area for decades, and last week the marker got a fresh coat of paint. But few people seem to know why it is there or the history behind it.
