  • New Mexico State Capitol!
    New Mexico State Capitol Welcome to the New Mexico State Capitol! We are excited about your interest in our State Capitol!

Take time to enjoy the architecture and art that the Capitol has to offer, which reflect New Mexico's unique culture. The vast art collection is managed by the Capitol Art Foundation and includes works displayed in the Capitol, the Capitol North and the walkway that connects the two. The walkway is accessible from the first floor of the Capitol, from Capitol North and from Don Gaspar. Capitol North is also accessible from Don Gaspar. The Capitol, also known as the Roundhouse, and the Capitol North are operated by the Legislative Council Service (LCS) and are home to the Office of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Legislative Finance Committee, the Legislative Education Study Committee, the Administrative Office of the Courts and the LCS. The 112 members of the New Mexico Legislature occupy the building throughout the year, during the annual legislative session and during the interim to attend committee meetings.

  • 80 Kansas History “Peerless Princess of the Southwest”: Boosterism and Regional Identity in Wichita, Kansas
    “Corn is King” (1887). Courtesy of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Summer 2015): 80–107 80 Kansas History “Peerless Princess of the Southwest”: Boosterism and Regional Identity in Wichita, Kansas by Jay M. Price n 1887 the Wichita Board of Trade issued an elaborate map celebrating the city’s prominence as a regional trade and commercial center. Wichita appeared as a bustling powerhouse of activity in Kansas and the central United States. Exaggerated scale highlighted Wichita’s purported status as a hub of rail lines that extended to New Orleans, Galveston, El Paso, Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, and Chicago. Equally striking were the slogans and titles that described the city as the “Peerless Princess of the Plains,” the “Magical Mascot,” the “Mecca of Men,” the I“Jerusalem of the West,” and the “Favored City.” In the upper corner was a blank space for a sponsoring organization. The Wichita Journal of Commerce, for example, did so, mentioning that it was in “the Great Southwest, Wichita, Its Metropolis.”1 A century later, equating Wichita with the Southwest would seem odd. By the 1980s, the term “southwestern” evoked images of howling coyotes, saguaros, Mexican food, and adobe architecture.2 Depending on the speaker, Wichita was a city of the Midwest, which extended from Kansas to the Great Lakes; the Great Plains, which ran from the Dakotas down to Texas; or an ill-defined “Heartland,” where fields and farms extended to the flat horizon, punctuated by massive grain elevators. Regardless of specific regional affiliation, however, one feature stood out: location.

Francis Grades: ECE - 1st Implementation Time: 2-3 weeks Published 2002 Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project Loyola A. Martinez, Project Director Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado ABOUT THE ALMA PROJECT The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project The Alma Curriculum and Teacher Training Project was made possible with funding from a Goals 2000 Partnerships for Educating Colorado Students grant awarded to the Denver Public Schools in July 1996. The Project is currently being funded by the Denver Public Schools. The intent of the Project is to have teachers in the Denver Public Schools develop instructional units on the history, contributions, and issues pertinent to Latinos and Hispanics in the southwest United States. Other experts, volunteers, and community organizations have also been directly involved in the development of content in history, literature, science, art, and music, as well as in teacher training. The instructional units have been developed for Early Childhood Education (ECE) through Grade 12. As instructional units are developed and field-tested, feedback from teachers is extremely valuable for making any necessary modifications in the topic development of future units of study. Feedback obtained in the spring of 1999, from 48 teachers at 14 sites, was compiled, documented and provided vital information for the field testing report presented to the Board of Education.

    NM HIGHWAY/ MARKER TITLE TEXT OF MARKER COUNTY NAME MILEMARKER A.M. Curley Trainer Memorial N.M. State Road 78 appeared on maps before 1927, but remained a gravel highway in several sections in Arizona and New Mexico through the 1960s. By Grant NM 78 mm .5 EB Highway 1971, all but one stretch near the border had been paved. Area rancher Curley Traynor was instrumental in having a paved road connect Arizona and New Mexico, and in 1974 it was dedicated as the A.M. Curley Traynor Memorial Highway. Abiquiú Established on the site on an abandoned Indian pueblo, Abiquiú in the mid-18th century became a settlement of Spaniards and genízaros (Hispanicized Rio Arriba US 084 North of Espanola at MM 211.9 Indians). In 1776, explorers Fran Francisco Atanacio Domínguez and Fray Silvestre Vélez de Escalante visited here. In 1830, the settlement became one of the stops on the Spanish Trail which linked Santa Fe with Los Angeles, California. Abó Pass Trail Cutting through the southern edge of the Manzano Mountains, this area has always been an important trade route. The trail linked Abó and the Salinas Torrance US 60 between mm's 189-190 pueblos to the Rio Grande pueblos, fostering trade of beans, cotton, buffalo meat and salt with the Plains Indians. It gave access to El Camino Real, and U.S. 60—originally a coast-to-coast highway—follows the trail’s route through the pass. One of the world’s busiest intermodal transport routes, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway, runs through Abo Canyon, just north of Abó Pass.

  • A New Ankylosaurid Dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous
    A New Ankylosaurid Dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous (Kirtlandian) of New Mexico with Implications for Ankylosaurid Diversity in the Upper Cretaceous of Western North America Victoria M. Arbour1*, Michael E. Burns1, Robert M. Sullivan2, Spencer G. Lucas2, Amanda K. Cantrell2, Joshua Fry3, Thomas L. Suazo2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 2 New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States of America, 3 Department of Geosciences, Fort Hays State University, Hays, Kansas, United States of America Abstract A new ankylosaurid (Ankylosauria: Dinosauria), Ziapelta sanjuanensis, gen. et sp. nov., is based on a complete skull, an incomplete first cervical half ring, a possible fragment of the second cervical half ring, and additional fragmentary osteoderms. The holotype specimen is from the Upper Cretaceous (Upper Campanian, Kirtlandian Land-Vertebrate Age) Kirtland Formation (De-na-zin Member) at Hunter Wash, San Juan Basin, in northwestern New Mexico, USA. Diagnostic characters of Ziapelta include: a large, prominent triangular median nasal caputegulum; a mixture of flat and bulbous frontonasal caputegulae; ventrolaterally oriented squamosal horns with a sharp, prominent dorsal keel; and the ventral surface of basicranium with three prominent anteroposteriorly oriented fossae. A phylogenetic analysis suggests that Ziapelta is not closely related to the other ankylosaurid from the De-na-zin Member, Nodocephalosaurus, but allies it to the northern North American ankylosaurids Ankylosaurus, Anodontosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Dyoplosaurus, and Scolosaurus.
