  • Interest and the Panamint Shoshone (E.G., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934)
    109 VyI. NOTES ON BOUNDARIES AND CULTURE OF THE PANAMINT SHOSHONE AND OWENS VALLEY PAIUTE * Gordon L. Grosscup Boundary of the Panamint The Panamint Shoshone, also referred to as the Panamint, Koso (Coso) and Shoshone of eastern California, lived in that portion of the Basin and Range Province which extends from the Sierra Nevadas on the west to the Amargosa Desert of eastern Nevada on the east, and from Owens Valley and Fish Lake Valley in the north to an ill- defined boundary in the south shared with Southern Paiute groups. These boundaries will be discussed below. Previous attempts to define the Panamint Shoshone boundary have been made by Kroeber (1925), Steward (1933, 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1941) and Driver (1937). Others, who have worked with some of the groups which border the Panamint Shoshone, have something to say about the common boundary between the group of their special interest and the Panamint Shoshone (e.g., Voegelin 1938; Zigmond 1938; and Kelly 1934). Kroeber (1925: 589-560) wrote: "The territory of the westernmost member of this group [the Shoshone], our Koso, who form as it were the head of a serpent that curves across the map for 1, 500 miles, is one of the largest of any Californian people. It was also perhaps the most thinly populated, and one of the least defined. If there were boundaries, they are not known. To the west the crest of the Sierra has been assumed as the limit of the Koso toward the Tubatulabal. On the north were the eastern Mono of Owens River.

  • Chemehuevi Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118
    Hydrologic Region Colorado River California’s Groundwater Chemehuevi Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 Chemehuevi Valley Groundwater Basin • Groundwater Basin Number: 7-43 • County: San Bernardino • Surface Area: 273,000 acres (427 square miles) Basin Boundaries and Hydrology This basin underlies Chemehuevi Valley in eastern San Bernardino County. The basin is bounded by Havasu Lake on the east and by nonwater-bearing rocks of the Sacramento Mountains on the north, of the Chemehuevi Mountains on the northeast, of the Whipple Mountains on the southeast, of the Turtle Mountains on the west and south (Bishop 1963). The valley is drained by Chemehuevi Wash to Havasu Lake. Annual average precipitation ranges from about 4 to 6 inches. Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations Groundwater in the basin is found in alluvium and the Bouse Formation. Alluvium. Holocene age younger alluvium, which is found in washes and the floodplain of the Colorado River, is composed of sand, silt and gravel (Metzger and Loeltz 1973). Older alluvium consists of unconsolidated, fine- to coarse-grained sand, pebbles, and boulders with variable amounts of silt and clay. Bouse Formation. The Pliocene age Bouse Formation is composed of a basal limestone bed overlain by interbedded clay, silt, and sand. Thickness of the formation reaches 254 feet (Metzger and Loeltz 1973). The formation is underlain by locally derived fanglomerate and overlain by alluviums of the Colorado River and its tributaries. Restrictive Structures An unnamed fault crosses a portion of the southern side of the basin (Bishop 1963), but it is not known whether or not this fault impedes groundwater flow in the basin.

  • Newberry/Dead Mountains Scenic Backcountry Drive the 10-Mile One-Way Drive Is on Bureau of Land Management Public Lands
    Newberry/Dead Mountains Scenic Backcountry Drive The 10-mile one-way drive is on Bureau of Land Management public lands. However, it is better to take this as a loop trail (see directions) so you don’t have to backtrack and can see other attractions. Although the road is gravel, it is in good condition and can be navigated by 2-wheel drive sedan vehicles, although high clearance is preferable. This particular scenic drive offers a wide range of vistas. Looking north are the Newberry Mountains with the prominent and sacred Spirit Mountain looming above the horizon. Looking south are the Dead Moun- tains which are also sacred to the native Indian tribes in the area. To the west are the granitic crystal hills with interesting rock formations. To the east is the Colorado River Valley and the high peaks of the Hualapai Range in Arizona as backdrop. The green fields along the Colorado River in this area are part of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation. The Fort Mojave Indian Reservation covers nearly 42,000 acres in the tri-state area of Arizona, California, and Nevada. The Mojave Indians are Pipa Aha Macav — “The People By The River.” Mojave culture traces the earthly origins of its people to Spirit Mountain. Newberry Mountains Newberry Mountains Prior to the arrival of white settler to the region, the Mojave Indians were prosperous farmers with well- established villages and trade networks that stretched as far away as the Pacific Ocean. In the 16th Century, the time the Spanish arrived in the territory, the Mojave’s were the largest concentration of people in the Southwest.

  • Welcome to the 27Th Annual Wildflower Hotline, Brought to You by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a Non-Profit Plant Nursery, Seed
    Welcome back to the 28th Annual Wildflower Hotline, brought to you by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a non-profit plant nursery, seed source, book store and education center, dedicated to the preservation of wildflowers and California native plants. The glory of spring has really kicked into high gear as many deserts, canyons, parks, and natural areas are ablaze of color – so get out there and enjoy the beauty of California wildflowers. This week we begin at the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument in Palm Desert, where the Randall Henderson and Art Smith Trails are ablaze with beavertail cactus (Opuntia basilaris), Arizona lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), little gold poppy (Eschscholzia minutiflora), chuparosa (Justicia californica), brittlebush (Encelia farinosa), desert lavender (Hyptis emoryi), wild heliotrope (Phacelia distans), and apricot mallow (Sphaeralcea ambigua). If you are heading to Palm Springs for the weekend, take a trip along Palm Canyon Dr. where the roadside is radiant with sand verbena (Abronia villosa), Fremont pincushion (Chaenactis fremontii), desert dandelion (Malacothrix glabrata), forget-me-not (Cryptantha sp.), Spanish needle (Palafoxia arida), Arizona Lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), and creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). While in the area check out Tahquitz Canyon, in the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, off West Mesquite Ave., which is still decorated with desert dandelion (Malacothrix glabrata), pymy golden poppy (Eschscholzia minutiflora), white fiesta flower (Pholistoma membranaceum), California sun cup (Camissonia californica), brown-eyed primrose (Camissonia claviformis), and more. NOTE: This is a 2-mile loop trail that requires some scrambling over rocks. Just north of I-10, off Varner Road, Edom Hill is a carpet of color with Arizona lupine (Lupinus arizonicus), sand verbena (Abronia villosa), Fremont pincushion (Chaenactis fremontii), and croton (Croton californicus), along with a sprinkling of desert sunflower (Geraea canescens) and dyebush (Psorothamnus emoryi).

  • Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones
    Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones APPENDIX D: Building Descriptions The purpose of the Building Descriptions is to assist the user in selecting an appropriate type of building when using the Air Conditioning estimating tools. The selected building type should be the one that most closely matches the actual project. These summaries provide the user with the inputs for the typical buildings. Minor variations from these inputs will occur based on differences in building vintage and climate zone. The Building Descriptions are referenced from the 2004-2005 Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER) Update Study. It should be noted that the user is required to provide certain inputs for the user’s specific building (e.g. actual conditioned area, city, operating hours, economy cycle, new AC system and new AC system efficiency). The remaining inputs are approximations of the building and are deemed acceptable to the user. If none of the typical building models are determined to be a fair approximation then the user has the option to use the Custom Building approach. The Custom Building option instructs the user how to initiate the Engage Software. The Engage Software is a stand-alone, DOE2 based modeling program.

  • California Rare & Endagered Birds
    California brown pelican Pelecanus occidentalis californicus State Endangered 1971 Fully Protected Federal Endangered 1970 General Habitat: The California brown pelican uses a variety of natural and human-created sites, including offshore islands and rocks, sand spits, sand bars, jetties, and piers, for daytime loafing and nocturnal roosting. Preferred nesting sites provide protection from mammalian predators and sufficient elevation to prevent flooding of nests. The pelican builds a nest of sticks on the ground, typically on islands or offshore rocks. Their nesting range extends from West Anacapa Island and Santa Barbara Island in Channel Islands National Park to Islas Los Coronados, immediately south of and offshore from San Diego, and Isla San Martín in Baja California Norte, Mexico. Description: The brown pelican is one of two species of pelican in North America; the other is the white pelican. The California brown pelican is a large, grayish-brown bird with a long, pouched bill. The adult has a white head and dark body, but immature birds are dark with a white belly. The brown pelican weighs up to eight pounds and may have a wingspan of seven feet. Brown pelicans dive from flight to capture surface-schooling marine fishes. Status: The California brown pelican currently nests on West Anacapa Island and Santa Barbara Island in Channel Islands National Park. West Anacapa Island is the largest breeding population of California. In Mexico, the pelicans nest on Islas Los Coronados and Isla San Martín. Historically, the brown pelican colony on Islas Los Coronados was as large as, or larger than, that of recent years on Anacapa Island.

  • The California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 As Amended
    the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as amended U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Desert District Riverside, California the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as Amended IN REPLY REFER TO United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT STATE OFFICE Federal Office Building 2800 Cottage Way Sacramento, California 95825 Dear Reader: Thank you.You and many other interested citizens like you have made this California Desert Conservation Area Plan. It was conceived of your interests and concerns, born into law through your elected representatives, molded by your direct personal involvement, matured and refined through public conflict, interaction, and compromise, and completed as a result of your review, comment and advice. It is a good plan. You have reason to be proud. Perhaps, as individuals, we may say, “This is not exactly the plan I would like,” but together we can say, “This is a plan we can agree on, it is fair, and it is possible.” This is the most important part of all, because this Plan is only a beginning. A plan is a piece of paper-what counts is what happens on the ground. The California Desert Plan encompasses a tremendous area and many different resources and uses. The decisions in the Plan are major and important, but they are only general guides to site—specific actions. The job ahead of us now involves three tasks: —Site-specific plans, such as grazing allotment management plans or vehicle route designation; —On-the-ground actions, such as granting mineral leases, developing water sources for wildlife, building fences for livestock pastures or for protecting petroglyphs; and —Keeping people informed of and involved in putting the Plan to work on the ground, and in changing the Plan to meet future needs.
