  • National Monuments and the Forest Service
    NATIONAL MONUMENTS AND THE FOREST SERVICE Gerald W. Williams, Ph.D., (Retired) USDA Forest Service Washington, DC National monuments are areas of federal land set aside by the Congress or most often by the president, under authority of the American Antiquities Act of June 8, 1906, to protect or enhance prominent or important features of the national landscape. Such important national features include those land areas that have historic cultural importance (sites and landmarks), prehistoric prominence, or those of scientific or ecological significance. Today, depending on how one counts, there are 81 national monuments administered by the USDI National Park Service, 13 more administered by the USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM), five others administered by the USDA Forest Service, two jointly managed by the BLM and the National Park Service, one jointly administered by the BLM and the Forest Service, one by the USDI Fish & Wildlife Service, and another by the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home in Washington, D.C. In addition, one national monument is under National Park Service jurisdiction, but managed by the Forest Service while another is on USDI Bureau of Reclamation administered land, but managed by the Park Service. The story of the national monuments and the Forest Service also needs to cover briefly the creation of national parks from national forest and BLM lands. More new national monuments and national parks are under consideration for establishment. ANTIQUITIES ACT OF 1906 Shortly after the turn of the century, many citizens’ groups and organizations, as well as members of Congress, believed it was necessary that an act of Congress be passed to combat the increasing acts of vandalism and even destruction of important cultural (historic and prehistoric), scenic, physical, animal, and plant areas around the country (Rothman 1989).

    1 10.3 FOURMILE EAST 2 3 4 10.3.1 Background and Summary of Impacts 5 6 7 10.3.1.1 General Information 8 9 The proposed Fourmile East SEZ has a total area of 3,882 acres (15.7 km2) and is located 10 in Alamosa County in south-central Colorado (Figure 10.3.1.1-1). In 2008, the county population 11 was 15,783, while the four-county region surrounding the SEZ—Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, and 12 Rio Grande Counties—had a total population of 39,759. The largest nearby town is Alamosa, 13 with an estimated 2008 population of 8,745, which is located about 13 mi (21 km) to the west on 14 U.S. 160. This highway lies about 0.6 mi (1 km) south of the SEZ, while CO 150 runs north- 15 south through the eastern portion of the SEZ; Great Sands Dunes National Park is located about 16 9 mi (14 km) north of the SEZ on CO 150. The SLRG Railroad serves the area. The nearest 17 public airport is San Luis Valley Regional Airport located 12 mi (19 km) west of the SEZ in 18 Alamosa. Santa Fe, New Mexico, lies about 120 mi (193 km) to the south, and Denver, 19 Colorado, lies about 170 mi (31 km) to the northeast. 20 21 An existing 69-kV transmission line lies about 2 mi (3 km) to the south, and a 230-kV 22 line lies about 8 mi (13 km) to the north of the SEZ.

Copyright holder does ask that you reference the title of the essay and my name as the author in the event others may need to reach me for clarifi- cation, with questions, or to use more extensive portions of my reference work. Also, please contact me if you find any errors or have a map that has not been included in the cartobibliography ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the process of compiling this work, I have met many dedicated cartographers, Forest Service staff, academic and public librarians, archivists, and entrepreneurs. I first would like to acknowledge the gracious assistance of Bob Malcolm Super- visory Cartographer of Region 2 in Golden, Colorado who opened up the Region’s archive of maps and atlases to me in November of 2005. Also, I am indebted to long-time map librarians Christopher Thiry, Janet Collins, Donna Koepp, and Stanley Stevens for their early encouragement and consistent support of this project. In the fall of 2013, I was awarded a fellowship by The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Grey Towers National Historic Site. The Scholar in Resi- dence program of the Grey Towers Heritage Association allowed me time to write and edit my research on the mapping of the National Forest System in an office in Gifford Pinchot’s ancestral home.
