  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • Mimbres Resource Management Plan (RMP) Preparation Process
    United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Las Cruces District Office IN REPLY REFER TO: 1800 Marquess St. Las Cruces, New Mexico 88005 1600 (036) December 1993 Dear Reader: This document is the culmination of the Mimbres Resource Management Plan (RMP) preparation process. It contains both the Approved Resource Management Plan and the Record of Decision (ROD). Although this may mark the completion of the land use planning stage, it denotes the beginning of the plan implementation stage. Signed on April 30, 1993, the ROD for the Mimbres RMP records the acceptance of the Proposed RMP (with some modification) as the land use plan for the Mimbres Resource Area, and will shape the management direction of its resources for the next 20 years. Since the approval of the ROD, we have begun implementing the RMP. The Approved RMP as presented in this document will serve as a basis from which both the BLM and the public can track the implementation of the Plan. You will continue to be informed of the progress in implementation through the publication of an Annual RMP Update. This annual update will identify completed actions, as well as actions planned for the coming year, thus enabling you to be involved in specific land management actions. Your continuing interest and involvement in ELM's management of the public land and resources within the Mimbres Resource Area will be the key to successful implementation of the RMP. We look forward to our continued partnership in managing your public land. If you desire more specific information or would like to become more involved in the resource management process, we encourage you to write to the above address or call (505) 525-4352.

  • Texas Mountain Trail Region
    Guadalupe Mountains National Park reathtaking mountains and high-country hikes. Sheer river canyons and winding back roads. BB Exotic desert panoramas and star-studded nights. These sights and more delight visitors at every turn in the six Far West Texas counties of the Texas Mountain Trail Region. Stretched across two time zones, Central and Mountain, this far-flung region is a geological wonder. During the Permian period more than 250 million years ago, the land lay near the equator in the supercontinent of Pangea. Continental shifting and volcanic action eventually thrust the land upward; millennia of wind and water eroded it, sculpting majestic mountains and mesas. Dinosaurs roamed for millions of years when the land bordered a shallow sea. The Rio Grande gradually carved a deep notch in the mountains, creating a natural river crossing that Spanish explorers named El Paso del Norte. The river also created glorious canyons in today’s Big Bend National Park. Throughout the centuries, the climate grew hotter and the land drier. To survive, wildlife and prehistoric hunter-gatherers adapted to desert conditions. Later, diverse groups — Native Americans and Spanish missionaries, soldiers and miners, ranchers and railroaders –– passed this way in search of wealth, glory and new beginnings. A century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca traveled with the first European expedition here in the 1530s. He encountered agricultural communities and scattered nomadic tribes. Later Spanish expeditions introduced horses, cattle, sheep and wheeled vehicles to natives. The Land ★ ★ ★ ★ of Endless Vistas Enjoy nature’s solitude in the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park.
