  • Chapter 3. Management Areas
    Chapter 3. Management Areas Introduction to Management Areas Management areas are areas that have similar management intent and a common management strategy that are more specific than forestwide guidance provided in Chapter 2. This direction does not substitute for or repeat forestwide direction, but rather provides additional direction for the applicable area. In the event that a plan decision in this section and the forestwide component in another section conflict, the more restrictive plan decision generally prevails. A project or activity-level evaluation, however, may be required to resolve the conflict; generally, however, the more restrictive plan decision prevails. Some management areas are special areas that have been designated by Congress or an office of the Executive Branch. They are managed to protect the special features or character for which they were designated and must be managed in accordance with relevant law, regulation, and policy and any area- specific management plan, such as the Verde River Comprehensive River Management Plan. Because of the complication of carrying forward direction from the previous forest plan there are two management areas that overlay the Sedona-Oak Creek Management Area (MA). The Oak Creek Canyon and House Mountain-Lowlands MAs are both subject to direction for the Sedona-Oak Creek MA and have unique direction that applies only to these overlay areas. In addition, there are several guidelines in the Sedona-Oak Creek MA to which the House Mountain-Lowlands MA is an exception. Scenery desired conditions (desired landscape character) for wilderness and wild and scenic rivers is described in the MA direction. For other management areas, see the Landscape Character Zones for this direction.

  • A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona
    A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated With FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Prepared for: Verizon Wireless Tempe, Arizona Prepared by: Terracon Consultants, Inc. Tempe, Arizona Terracon Project No. 65157582 August 2018 ABSTRACT Report Title: A General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Investigations Associated with FCC Cell Tower Construction Projects on Private Lands in Arizona Report Date: August 2018 Agencies: Federal Communications Commission, Arizona State Historic Preservation Office Project Sponsor: Verizon Wireless (Verizon) Project Description: Verizon constructs and collocates telecommunications facilities in Arizona. Due to the involvement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the projects, they are considered federal undertakings subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviews FCC-licensed undertakings pursuant to two nationwide programmatic agreements. Some of Verizon’s proposed undertakings may be found by the FCC and SHPO to have an adverse effect on historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of this General Historic Properties Treatment Plan (General HPTP) is to streamline the resolution of adverse effects to historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the NRHP by Verizon-sponsored undertakings on private lands in Arizona. This streamlined resolution will also include the preparation of a project-specific addendum to the General HPTP. The General HPTP does not apply to state, county, municipal, or Tribal lands including private lands within tribal reservation boundaries, or to lands under federal jurisdiction. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Section 1.

  • KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 Through 83
    1 KIVA INDEX: Volumes 1 through 83 This index combines five previously published Kiva indexes and adds index entries for the most recent completed volumes of Kiva. Nancy Bannister scanned the indexes for volumes 1 through 60 into computer files that were manipulated for this combined index. The first published Kiva index was prepared in 1966 by Elizabeth A.M. Gell and William J. Robinson. It included volumes 1 through 30. The second index includes volumes 31 through 40; it was prepared in 1975 by Wilma Kaemlein and Joyce Reinhart. The third, which covers volumes 41 through 50, was prepared in 1988 by Mike Jacobs and Rosemary Maddock. The fourth index, compiled by Patrick D. Lyons, Linda M. Gregonis, and Helen C. Hayes, was prepared in 1998 and covers volumes 51 through 60. I prepared the index that covers volumes 61 through 70. It was published in 2006 as part of Kiva volume 71, number 4. Brid Williams helped proofread the index for volumes 61 through 70. To keep current with our volume publication and the needs of researchers for on-line information, the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society board decided that it would be desirable to add entries for each new volume as they were finished. I have added entries for volumes 71 through 83 to the combined index. It is the Society's goal to continue to revise this index on a yearly basis. As might be expected, the styles of the previously published indexes varied, as did the types of entries found. I changed some entries to reflect current terminology.

  • Q. What Is a Docent? a Docent Is Someone Who Interacts with the Public at the Forest Service Heritage Sites in the Sedona Area
    Cultural Resources / Becoming a Docent FAQ September 2018 Q. What is a docent? A docent is someone who interacts with the public at the Forest Service heritage sites in the Sedona area. The goal is to provide interpretation of the site for a greater visitor experience, education on site etiquette for these sites and any other sites that the visitor may encounter on their own, and protect the site by monitoring for inappropriate behavior by visitors. Q. Where do docents volunteer? Volunteers have a choice of working at the three Heritage sites in the Red Rock district of the Coconino National Forest: Palatki, V-Bar-V, or Honanki. You can elect to volunteer at any or all of these sites. Website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/coconino/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5299994&width=full Q. Why are docents needed? We receive 25,000 visitors at each site each year. Due to past (and recent) issues with graffiti and ongoing threat of abuse, these sites are only open to the public on fixed days and hours. Specific areas are viewable only if there is a docent present to monitor, interpret, and educate. Q. What are the working hours? Palatki and V-Bar-V are open from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm. Honanki is open from 9:30 am until 4:00 pm. It is usually recommended that a volunteer spend an entire day at Palatki. V-Bar-V is conducive to full day or half day shifts. Q. What days can I volunteer? Palatki is open 363 days a year (Closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas) V-Bar-V is open Friday through Monday.

  • Fact Sheet Overview
    southwestlearning.org MONTEZUMA WELL Prehistory FACTOVERVIEW SHEET USGS/R.H. JOHNSON Montezuma Well, located in the Verde Valley of north-central Arizona, is a natural sinkhole that formed some 11,000 years ago when the limestone roof above collapsed. The Well was long the home of first Hohokam, Sinagua, and later, Yavapai and Apache people, and remains a source of irrigation water for the Verde Valley to this day. The Well is also a unique habitat in which several species are endemic (found nowhere else in the world), having adapted to the Well’s distinctive wa- ter chemistry. Environment The water in Montezuma Well has unusually high levels of dissolved carbon dioxide (nearly 100 times higher than most aquatic environments) and arsenic, as well as calcium and other chemicals. This combination prevents fish from living Looking south across Montezuma Well. within the Well, but is also responsible for the evolution of the five endemic species found within the Well: a diatom Gom( - allela montezuma), a leech (Motobdella montezuma), a water phonema montezumense), an amphipod (side-swimmers; Hy- scorpion (Ranatra montezuma), and a spring snail (Pyrgulop- sis montezuma), as well as several other species suspected of being endemic, but not yet formally described as such. Phytoplankton serve as the base of the Well’s simple food chain. These are eaten by the amphipods, which in turn, are eaten by the leeches. Each day at sunset, the amphipods rise to the surface to feed on algae, and the leeches follow, hunting the amphipods in the dark of the night (Govidich and Bain 2005).

  • Heritage Resources Specialist Report
    Forest Plan Revision DEIS Heritage Resources Specialist Report FINAL Submitted by: __/s/ _________________________ Peter J. Pilles, Jr., Coconino National Forest, Forest Archaeologist Preparers and Contributors section: Peter J. Pilles, Jr. Education: BA, Arizona State University, 1967 Years of Experience: 45 for: Coconino National Forest Date: June 30, 2011 Revised: Sept. 9, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination against its customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department. (Not all prohibited bases will apply to all programs and/or employment activities.) Preface The information in this specialist report reflects analysis that was completed prior to and in conjunction with the completion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the revision of the 1987 Coconino National Forest Land Management Plan (the Plan). The primary purpose of specialist reports associated with the DEIS is to provide detailed information to assist in the preparation of the DEIS. As the DEIS was prepared, review-driven edits to the broader DEIS resulted in modifications to some of the information contained in some of the specialist reports. As a result, some reports no longer contain information and analysis that was updated through an interdisciplinary review process and is included in the DEIS in its entirety.

Known for the pueblos carved into the sandstone cliffs, these ruins also contain several sets of ancient pictographs and petroglyphs, which are estimated to be between by Mfield, Matthew Field, http 3,000 and 6,000 years old. One of Sedona's largest ruins, Palatki, which ://www.photography.mattfield. translates to 'red house' in the Hopi language, consists of two separate com pueblo dwellings. The existence of dual pueblos suggests that two different family groups inhabited the area simultaneously. There are several other ruins nearby, including Honanki and Tuzigoot, which is located in Clarkdale, Arizona. +1 520 282 4119 (Ranger Station) www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coconino/ 250 Brewer Road, Sedona AZ recreation/ohv/recarea/?recid=5536 8&actid=119 Honanki "Visit the Past" Nestled in a corner of the Coconino National Forest, Honanki is widely- acknowledged to have been built by the Sinagua people around 1130 to 1280. Honanki in Hopi stands for 'bear house' and is a prime example of the exquisite masonry construction that was developed by the Pueblo Indians during those times.
