The successful implementation of conservation activities requires actions beyond the mere stabilization of structures. To be successful in the long term, preservation planning must involve the comprehensive pursuit of regulatory framework, community education and participation, and economic mechanisms. Preservation planning can serve to organize these efforts into a logical and manageable sequence of tasks. It is the intent of this document to illuminate the vast potential and urgency of a preservation program within the Greater Vail Area to the benefit of its community. Vail, Arizona, has historically been a diverse, rural community located southeast of the City of Tucson in Pima County. The expansive Southwestern landscape and the original Vail town site encompass cultural resources spanning a multitude of cultural groups tracing back thousands of years to the present. As will be demonstrated, the area is a high sensitivity zone for archaeological sites and historic properties. Transportation, mining, and cattle ranching have all had a huge impact on the cultural and physical development of the area now known as Vail. The Vail Historic Preservation Plan was produced by a group of University of Arizona graduate students at the request of the Vail Preservation Society (VPS), a non-profit organization advocating community connections through local history. The Vail Historic Preservation Plan develops a framework of goals and recommendations under the auspices of Pima County’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, Arizona State Historic Preservation Plan and area historic preservation guidelines. The structure guides zoning, land-use, and growth management based on significant cultural resources associated with two concentric zones (a one-mile radius “focus zone,” and a five-mile “contextual zone”) centered on the original town site, at Colossal Cave Road and Old Vail Road (previously Highway 80). The plan is meant to evolve with changes in commercial, social and jurisdictional conditions and special care was taken to allow for flexibility in the event of incorporation. Recommendations will be made for county and privately owned lands within this area. The document addresses the need to develop a proactive public participation process, and provides a course of action to preserve Vail’s cultural resources while promoting economic development. The recommended actions are outlined in three town site concepts. The scope of the plan strives to sustain a strong future of its shared past by revisiting the vision and elements of the plan every five-years. 5 The Vail Historic Preservation Plan is organized by chapters that address the following goals: • Provide context for preservation in Vail by outlining a thorough environmental and cultural history of the area [Section 3 Vail History and Heritage] • Provide a comprehensive summary of past and ongoing preservation efforts [Section 4 Preservation: Past Preservation Efforts and a Renewed Emphasis] • Impart a focused emphasis for linking cultural significance to the landscape as related to preservation recommendations [Section 4 Preservation: Past Preservation Efforts and a Renewed Emphasis] • Encourage the implementation of land-use strategies that maintain the view shed and emphasize the protection of the surrounding cultural landscape. [Section 5 Planning: Zoning, Land-Use and Growth Management] • Provide a public outreach strategy with specific recommendations for implementing public participation in ongoing preservation efforts [Section 6 Community: Defining Public Participation] • Offer recommendations to foster a healthy and productive preservation program in Vail that balances the needs of the cultural resources with those of the community [Section 7 Recommendations: Building a Preservation Program in Vail] • Provide design guidelines and program alternatives for proposed historic/cultural district [Section 7 Recommendations: Building a Preservation Program in Vail] 6 Map 1 Project location: Vail, Arizona original town site at Colossal Cave Road and Old Vail Road (previously Highway 80). 7 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAN Historian David Lowenthal (1979:554) once observed that, at the local level, communities need familiar landmarks in order to remain in touch with their own collective pasts in a rapidly changing world. Many cities, towns and villages go to great lengths to conserve scenes and structures of the past that “would never qualify for preservation grants as architectural gems or ancient monuments.” Most of world’s historic sites are not internationally

  • State of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. Part 3
    State of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. Part 3. Condition and Trend of Riparian Target Species, Vegetation and Channel Geomorphology Gita Bodner, The Nature Conservancy in Arizona, and Karen Simms, Bureau of Land Management January 2008 Executive summary Las Cienegas National Conservation Area (LCNCA) supports five of the rarest habitat types in the American Southwest: cottonwood-willow riparian forest, cienega marshland, sacaton floodplain, mesquite bosque, and semidesert grassland; is home to 6 endangered species; and has 2 eligible wild and scenic river segments. In response to its exceptional biological, cultural, and scenic values, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has committed to implementing a science-based adaptive management program at Las Cienegas. To this end, the Las Cienegas Resource Management Plan (RMP) sets out numerous clear, measurable management objectives; however, when the RMP was finalized in 2003, it was unclear whether the existing monitoring program could adequately measure progress towards objectives. BLM entered into a cooperative agreement with The Nature Conservancy in 2004 to evaluate the current condition of resources on LCNCA and to review existing monitoring protocols with respect to management objectives. Results are being summarized in a comprehensive “State of the NCA” report, with sections produced during each phase of this project. The first phase addressed adaptive management needs of the upland watershed (see reports on grassland status and trends and on the Biological Planning process, http://www.azconservation.org). This review of riparian habitats and species is part of the project’s second phase focused on stream systems. The second phase also generated a recent report on the endangered Gila topminnow and will soon include a status report on aquatic habitats.

  • 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.

  • Santa Cruz County Before the Arizona Navigable
    SANTA CRUZ COUNTY ... BEFORE THE ARIZONA NAVIGABLE STREAM ADJUDICATION COMMISSION IN THE MA ITER OF THE NAVIGABILITY OF SMALL AND MINOR WATERCOURSES IN SANTA No.: 03-001-NA V CRUZ COUNTY, ARIZONA, EXCLUDING THE SANTA CRUZ RIVER REPORT, FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION REGARDING THE NAVIGABILITY OF SMALL AND MINOR WATERCOURSES IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, ARIZONA Spanish travelers or settlers in Santa Cruz County until 1691 when a Jesuit missionary, Father Eusebio Francisco Kino carne to the valley to establish missions and convert indigenous populations to Christianity. The impact Father Kino had on Santa Cruz County, either directly or indirectly, cannot be underestimated. The first large settlement of the area was the Jesuit mission of Santa Maria Soarnca, later known as Santa Cruz. which was located south of the border in Mexico. Father Kino used the Santa Cruz valley extensively as a travel route into the northern portion of Pirneria Alta. His missionary efforts in the twenty years between 1691 and his death in 1711 led to the establishment of three missions along the Santa Cruz River, including Tumacacori just north of Nogales. Other smaller mission posts and visitas were established at Tubac and north of Santa Cruz County at San Xavier del Bac and San Augustine de Tucson. The greatest impact Kino and subsequent missionaries had in Santa Cruz County, and especially the Santa Cruz valley, was the introduction of new technologies in crops and domestic animals. This led to an expansion of farming by the Pima Indians and Spanish settlers. The missions' crops relied on irrigation primarily from the Santa Cruz River, although Sonoita Creek was also used where surface waters flowed through canals, some of which may have been originally dug by the Hohokarn.

One’s first impression may be of size and distance—broad valleys rimmed by mountain ranges, with a huge sky arching over all. However, a closer look reveals that, beneath the broad brush strokes, this is a land of astonishing variety. For example, it is comprised of several kinds of desert, year-round flowing streams, and sky island mountain ranges.

  • Descriptions of Important Historic Sites
    Appendix A DESCRIPTIONS OF IMPORTANT HISTORIC SITES This list of some of the most important historic sites or properties (buildings, structures, and districts), within the proposed Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area includes: (1) all National Historic Landmarks; (2) selected properties currently listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places; (3) selected properties that are unlisted but are likely eligible for inclusion in the National and State Registers; and (4) selected properties with local significance. The properties in Pima County were identified in 2002 as Priority Historic Sites for the cultural resources element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (Pima County 2002). The properties in Santa Cruz County were identified in a 2004 inventory conducted for this Feasibility Study by the University of Arizona Preservation Studies Program. This combined list does not include every property currently listed on the National and State Registers. It is a small sample of the historic properties with national, state, and local significance in this region, and it can be expanded in the future. 10 COTTAGES ON SHORT STREET, NRHP Short Street Nogales (Early 1900s) These 10 concrete cottages were built as modest worker’s housing early in the twentieth century. They are significant to the Nogales area because they are the only examples of cast-in-place concrete construction in the residential sector. They are uniquely situated on a hillside, with a central stairway access servicing the units. The cottages feature exposed rafters and corrugated steel sheathed gabled roofs.
