This report is the first step in determining where data are lacking and what further investigation may be necessary for community planning and resource development purposes. The research has been driven by two primary questions: 1) What information and resources currently exist on water resources in Cobre Valley and 2) what further research is necessary to provide valuable and accurate information so that community members and decision makers can reach their long-term water resource management goals? Areas of investigation include: water supply, water quality, drought and floods, economic factors, and water-dependent environmental values. Research for this report was conducted through the systematic collection of data and information from numerous local, state, and federal sources. -
ROAD LOG of MONUMENT VALLEY NAVAJO TRIBAL PARK, UTAH and ARIZONA William L
Geologic Road, Trail, and Lake Guides to Utah’s Parks and Monuments 2000 Utah Geological Association Publication 29 P.B. Anderson and D.A. Sprinkel, editors ROAD LOG OF MONUMENT VALLEY NAVAJO TRIBAL PARK, UTAH AND ARIZONA William L. Chenoweth Consulting Geologist Grand Junction, Colorado Editors Note: The stratigraphic section from the guidebook paper is in an appendix at the end of the road log. INTRODUCTION On July 11, 1958, the Navajo Tribal Council created the Monument Valley Tribal Park by withdrawing 29,817 acres for protection and the development of tourism. The park contains the most spectacular mesas, buttes and pinnacles that rise above the high desert floor in the region. The park is located east of U.S. Highway 163. It is triangular-shaped with the north corner at Saddleback Butte, the southeast corner is 4.5 miles southeast of Rooster Rock and the south corner is 8 miles south of Wetherill Mesa (figure 1). The oldest rocks exposed in the area of this log are the reddish-brown mudstones and siltstones of the Permian Organ Rock Shale. The upper half of this 600 foot thick unit is exposed around the base of the mesas and buttes. Above the Organ Rock is the Permian DeChelly Sandstone that forms the massive cliffs of the mesas, buttes and the pinnacles. It is a fine-grained, quartzose sandstone that has a reddish color due to hematitic coatings on the sand grains. This eolian unit is 400 feet thick in the park. Unconformally overlying the DeChelly is the Triassic Moenkopi Formation which is a thin redbed sequence capping many of the buttes. -

Harvest St. Mesa, AZ 85203 Mesa, AZ 85203 [email protected] [email protected] To: Team Captains, Special Program Managers and Advisors, and Team Coaches Greetings Varsity Scouts and Scout Leaders! You are about to participate in Varsity Scouting's most elevating activity for the year 2008. If you have planned right, you are about to have a mountain top experience that you will remember forever. It will help to culminate the last years’ worth of Team activities and will guide you and your Team through the upcoming year. I commend you for your choice to participate in Operation On Target this year. There are over 70 Teams participating in this year's activity. This is the biggest year ever for Arizona On Target! Team will be on Arizona peaks from Hayden Peak in the northwest to Mount Graham in the southeast. That will cover most of the state! Every Team should have ample opportunity to send and receive signals from several peaks. Please make every effort to be at your appointed location and be ready to go at 9:00 am. For some of you, that means a hike beginning at daybreak! Last year we had some Teams trying to make contact with Teams that had left early, so plan to stay until noon. Don’t forget to finish up with a “reflection”. -

United States Department of Agriculture Story Map: Forest Health Summary for Southwestern Region 2019 USDA Forest Service Forest Health Protection, Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, New Mexico State Forestry Background: This is an accessible version of the content on the ESRI Story Map with the Forest Health Summary for the Southwestern Region 2019 which is at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/r3/healthreport. This document contains the text and photographs of the Story Map, however note that the content of the interactive maps are not capable of being reproduced here. Introduction The Forest Health Protection Program works collaboratively with Arizona State Department of Forestry and Fire Management and New Mexico State Forestry to conduct annual aerial detection surveys of forest health conditions. These surveys assess forest insect and disease issues throughout the Southwestern Region. This includes damage such as tree mortality caused by bark beetles, tree defoliation by leaf/needle feeding caterpillars, tree discoloration, or branch flagging caused by pathogens, and abiotic factors like hail damage. In 2019, approximately 23,100,000 acres of Federal, state and private forest and woodlands in NM and AZ were surveyed. Insect and disease damage detectable from an aircraft were recorded by host, damage agent and intensity of damage using the Digital Mobile Sketchmapping application on Android tablets. Damage is recorded with points for small occurrences or with polygons for larger areas and given intensity levels depending on the severity of the damage. When interpreting this data, special attention should be paid to intensity levels. For more information on data interpretation, please read the methodology section below. -

Valles Caldera National Preserve Land Use History
More Than a Scenic Mountain Landscape: Valles Caldera National Preserve United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Land Use History Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-196 September 2007 Kurt F. Anschuetz Thomas Merlan Anschuetz, Kurt F.; Merlan, Thomas. 2007. More than a scenic mountain landscape: Valles Caldera National Preserve land use history. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-196. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 277 p. Abstract This study focuses on the cultural-historical environment of the 88,900-acre (35,560-ha) Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) over the past four centuries of Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. governance. It includes a review and synthesis of available published and unpublished historical, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic literature about the human occupation of the area now contained within the VCNP. Documents include historical maps, texts, letters, diaries, business records, photographs, land and mineral patents, and court testimony. This study presents a cultural-historical framework of VCNP land use that will be useful to land managers and researchers in assessing the historical ecology of the property. It provides VCNP administrators and agents the cultural-historical background needed to develop management plans that acknowledge traditional associations with the Preserve, and offers managers additional background for structuring and acting on consultations with affiliated communities. The Authors Kurt F. Anschuetz, an archaeologist and anthropologist, is the Program Director of the RÍo Grande Foundation for Communities and Cultural Landscapes in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He provides educational opportunities and technical assistance to Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo communities working to sustain their traditional relations with the land, the water, and their cultural heritage resources in the face of rapid development. -
