The Gap, Arizona
The Gap is an unincorporated community on the Navajo Nation in Coconino County, Arizona, United States. Description The very small community is located along U.S. Route 89 (US 89) at its junction with the south end of Navajo Route 20 (N20), formerly U.S. Route 89T, at mile marker 489. Just east of the community is its namesake, The Gap, a gap in the Echo Cliffs. While the community includes not much more than a trading post, a gas station, a school, and a tribal administrative building, in an addition to few homes, it is important as the only place were services are offered along the stretch of US 89 between Cameron and Page. However, it became more significant in February 2013 when a geological event caused a stretch of US 89 to buckle. The site of the road damage was about north of Bitter Springs (and the US 89A junction with US 89) and about south of Page. The loss of this stretch of road forced detours for traffic entering the Page area from ...

Arizona State Route 98
State Route 98 (SR 98) is a state highway in Coconino County in the U.S. state of Arizona. Route description SR 98 begins at an intersection with US 89 just south of the Glen Canyon Dam along the Colorado River. It runs along the southern portion of the city of Page and turns southeast to the Navajo Nation. It enters the town of Kaibito in the reservation, but otherwise the stretch through the Native American reservation is mostly devoid of settlements. Following Indian Route 22, SR 98 intersects Indian Route 221 just north of its eastern terminus at US 160, the Navajo Trail. History The route was established in 1974, when portions of former Indian Route 22 were given to the Arizona Department of Transportation to establish as a state highway, as routed today. Portions of the route were realigned in Page when portions of the route were redefined as State Route 989. This portion in Page was later relinquished by ADOT to the city of Page. Four years later, the rest of the ro ...

Filling Station

The most common fuels sold are gasoline (or petrol) and diesel fuel. Fuel dispensers are used to pump gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas, compressed hydrogen, hydrogen compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, liquid hydrogen, kerosene, alcohol fuels (like methanol, ethanol, butanol, and propanol), biofuels (like straight vegetable oil and biodiesel), or other types of fuel into the tanks within vehicles and calculate the financial cost of the fuel transferred to the vehicle. Besides gasoline pumps, one other significant device which is also found in filling stations and can refuel certain (compressed-air) vehicles is an air compressor, although generally these are just used to inflate car tires. Many filling stations provide convenience stores, which may sell convenience food, beverages, tobacco produc ...

Trading Post
A trading post, trading station, or trading house, also known as a factory in European and colonial contexts, is an establishment or settlement where goods and services could be traded. Typically a trading post allows people from one geographic area to exchange for goods produced in another area. Usually money is not used. The barter that occurs often includes an aspect of haggling. In some examples, local inhabitants can use a trading post to exchange what they have (such as locally-harvested furs) for goods they wish to acquire (such as manufactured trade goods imported from industrialized places). Given bulk transportation costs, exchanges made at a trading post for long-distance distribution can involve items which either party or both parties regard as luxury goods. A trading post can consist either of a single building or of an entire town. Trading posts have been established in a range of areas, including relatively remote ones, but most often near an ocean, a ri ...
