The report presents both chronological and physical information, collected through archival research and field documentation, to provide a cohesive point of reference on the resource. While there are additional historic resources associated with ranching activities located at the Williams Ranch site, only the house is included within the scope of this report. The significance of the structure, the chronology of use, and management goals were all considered when developing recommendations. Background The Williams Ranch house was built in 1908 using both materials hauled from Van Horn, Texas and locally procured stone. The historical record suggests the ranch house was commissioned by Robert Belcher; however, it was his brother, Henry, along with his wife and daughter who settled there. The family established a longhorn ranching operation at the site. Around 1917 the property was transferred to James Adolphous “Dolph” Williams, who raised cattle, sheep, and goats and farmed on a small scale until 1941. Faced with harsh economic and environmental conditions, Williams sold the property to J. C. Hunter. Williams died in New Mexico in 1942.1 After the Guadalupe Mountains National Park was authorized in 1966, J.C. Hunter Jr. sold his extensive land holdings, including the Williams Ranch site, to the Department of the Interior, expanding the size of the park. The park was formally established in 1972, and the Williams Ranch has been maintained by the National Park Service since then. The Williams Ranch house is one of few remnants of the historic ranching operations in the area.2 In addition to its association with longhorn ranching and the broad social patterns brought on by the Dust Bowl Era , the ranch house is significant due to its unique architectural style. Architecture – Style and Materials The architectural style is Victorian but contains vernacular elements, including incorporation of local materials. The single-story house has an L-shaped floor plan and sits on a stone foundation. The thin walls are of box-and-strip construction finished with Boston clinker siding. The gabled roof is finished with wood shingles. A covered porch protrudes from the north façade and a screened-porch is incorporated into the west side of the house. Decorative trim and lathed posts on the north porch are Victorian elements that add character. On the interior, the simple vertical wood plank walls and ceilings were hung with ornately patterned wallpaper, a character-defining feature. The geology of the Capitan Reef and Forebasin contributed to the building’s appearance and construction. The construction of the foundation is of local sandstone is important in terms of character, as it anchors 1 Fabry K. Judith. Guadalupe Mountains National Park: An Administrative History.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • Guadalupe Mountains National Park Is Administered by the National Park Service, U.S
    Guadalupe WHAT TO SEE AND DO Until development is completed, public-use facili­ Mountains ties and staffing at this new national park are NATIONAL PARK • TEXAS extremely limited. People visiting the back country should be prepared to "rough it." McKittrick Canyon, noted for both its scenery and scientific importance, is open for day-use foot travel. A stream surfaces and disappears at var­ ious places along the canyon bottom. Rare and interesting plant communities are on the floor and lower slopes of the canyon. The canyon walls reveal segments of Capitan Reef and fore-reef and back-reef marine deposits. In autumn, the colors of the foliage are outstanding. While hiking in the canyon, please stay on the trail. Camping and backpacking. Camping is limited to the primitive drive-in campground in Pine Spring Canyon and designated back-country sites. Wood fires are not allowed in the back country, but containerized fuel stoves are permitted. The small, primitive campground at Pine Spring Can­ yon has tables, trash cans, and pit toilets. Water can be carried from the information station. The campground turnoff is 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) southwest of Frijole Information Station (see map). The park offers some fine opportunities to back­ pack in deserts and forests. However, water is not available and trails are faint. Before venturing into the park's interior, backpackers must make thor­ ough preparations and check in at the information station to obtain campsite locations and to register destination and time of departure. They also should *GPO: 1979 -281 367/1 check in upon their return.

  • Resource Stewardship Strategy (RSS) Is a Park Program Plan That Includes Strategies for Managing Natural and Cultural Resources
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Guadalupe Mountains National Park Texas Resource Stewardship Strategy June 2009 Guadalupe Mountains National Park Resource Stewardship Strategy Approved by:________________________________________________ _________________June 18, 2009 Superintendent, Guadalupe Mountains National Park Date Cover art: Watercolor of El Capitan and the Guadalupe Mountains by Phil Thys, Denver Service Center EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OVERVIEW OF A RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP STRATEGY A Resource Stewardship Strategy (RSS) is a park program plan that includes strategies for managing natural and cultural resources. It is based on science and scholarship and is designed to achieve and maintain desired conditions for resources. The desired conditions for resources are spelled out in a park’s general management plan (GMP). The resource stewardship strategy is a link between the general management plan and park strategic planning, where personnel and financial resources are allocated to implement stewardship activities. The major components of the RSS include: • a description of the park’s fundamental (and other important) resources and values and their desired conditions, • the status of knowledge of these resources, • identification of indicators and target values that allow the NPS to measure current conditions against desired conditions, • and comprehensive strategies and funding needed to achieve or maintain desired conditions. FUNDAMENTAL AND OTHER IMPORTANT RESOURCES AND VALUES – DESIRED CONDITIONS The first step in developing comprehensive strategies is to identify the resources and values that the National Park Service is responsible for preserving at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Fundamental, and other important, resources and values support the purpose and significance of the park by identifying the characteristics (park features, processes, resources, and values) that park managers need to pay attention to.
