  • Draft Long Walk National Historic Trail Feasibility Study / Environmental Impact Statement Arizona • New Mexico
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Draft Long Walk National Historic Trail Feasibility Study / Environmental Impact Statement Arizona • New Mexico DRAFT LONG WALK NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Thanks to the New Mexico Humanities Council and the Western National Parks and Monuments Association for their important contributions to this study. DRAFT LONG WALK NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Apache, Coconino, Navajo Counties, Arizona; Bernalillo, Cibola, De Baca, Guadalupe, Lincoln, McKinley, Mora, Otero, Santa Fe, Sandoval, Torrance, Valencia Counties, New Mexico The purpose of this study is to evaluate the suitability and feasibility of designating the routes known as the “Long Walk” of the Mescalero Apache and the Navajo people (1862-1868) as a national historic trail under the study provisions of the National Trails System Act (Public Law 90-543). This study provides necessary information for evaluating the national significance of the Long Walk, which refers to the U.S. Army’s removal of the Mescalero Apache and Navajo people from their homelands to the Bosque Redondo Reservation in eastern New Mexico, and for potential designation of a national historic trail. Detailed administrative recommendations would be developed through the subsequent preparation of a comprehensive management plan if a national historic trail is designated. The three criteria for national historic trails, as defined in the National Trails System Act, have been applied and have been met for the proposed Long Walk National Historic Trail. The trail routes possess a high degree of integrity and significant potential for historical interest based on historic interpretation and appreciation.

  • Features of the Tularosa Basin Place Names in New Mexico, As You Might Imagine, Often Derive from Native American, Spanish, and Anglo Words and Family Names
    National Park Service White Sands Department of the Interior White Sands National Monument Features of the Tularosa Basin Place names in New Mexico, as you might imagine, often derive from Native American, Spanish, and Anglo words and family names. The Tularosa Basin is no exception—the word “tularosa” is Spanish for “reddish reeds.” Like much of the American Southwest, the basin is full of such colorful place names. Below you’ll find a description of the most significant features, arranged to correspond with the accompanying map. The Chupadera Mesa is an upland rising at the north end of the Tularosa Basin. Chupadera probably refers to “sinkholes”—although geographer T. M. Pearce says that it could also refer to “sucking insects.” Chupadero The Oscura Mountains form the northwest border of the Tularosa Mesa basin. Oscura means “dark” in Spanish, and with their piñon and juniper forested tops, the Oscura Mountains can appear darker than the neighboring San Andres Mountain range to the south. The highest elevation in the range is Oscura Peak at 8,732 feet high. The San Andres Mountains border the Tularosa Basin on the west. The range extends approximately 75 miles north to south. The highest Oscura point is Salinas Peak, with an elevation just under 9,000 feet. The Mountains southern San Andres Mountains are home to a wildlife refuge of the same name. However, the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge and the San Andres Mountains are within the boundaries of the White * Carrizozo Sands Missile Range and therefore closed to public access. The Oscura Mountains to the north are separated from the San Andres range at Mockingbird Gap, while the Organ Mountains to the south are separated from the San Andres by San Augustin Pass.

  • Whitewater Baldy Complex Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team Executive Summary
    6/18/2012 Whitewater Baldy Complex Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team Executive Summary Glenwood, Reserve, Black Range, and Wilderness Ranger Districts Gila National Forest Silver City, New Mexico June 18, 2012 1 6/18/2012 Executive Summary Introduction In May and June of 2012, the Whitewater Baldy Complex burned approximately 290,000 acres (117,359 hectares) of the Glenwood, Reserve, Wilderness, and Black Range Ranger Districts of the Gila National Forest. The Fire started as two separate lightning strike fires near Mogollon Baldy and in the headwaters of Whitewater Creek in the Gila Wilderness east of Glenwood NM. The two fires joined in extreme fire behavior on 5/23/2012 to form the Whitewater Baldy Complex. The fire severely burned a large tract of land across the Gila National Forest and the Gila Wilderness, including the headwaters of Whitewater Creek, Mineral Creek, and Gilita Creek that drain directly into the communities of Glenwood, Alma, and Willow Creek respectively. All of these population centers are situated in the floodplains of drainages affected by the fire. Much of the vegetation, duff and soil that once served to slow and hold water were eliminated as a result of the fire. Steep slopes further aggravate the situation. In fact, the Whitewater Baldy Complex Fire BAER team has modeled and predicted post-fire peak flows for a 25 year 6 hour precipitation event at 140 times the pre-fire flow in Willow Creek. Post-fire flows from a 25 year precipitation event are expected to increase 2-4 times in most of the affected drainages.

  • {PDF EPUB} Fire Season Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout by Philip Connors Fire Season
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Fire Season Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout by Philip Connors Fire Season. A decade ago Philip Connors left work as an editor at the Wall Street Journal and talked his way into a job as one of the last fire lookouts in America. Fire Season is Connors's remarkable reflection on work, our place in the wild, and the charms of solitude. A decade ago Philip Connors left work as an editor at the Wall Street Journal and talked his way into a job far from the streets of lower Manhattan: working as one of the last fire lookouts in America. Spending nearly half the year in a 7' x 7' tower, 10,000 feet above sea level in remote New Mexico, his tasks were simple: keep watch over one of the most fire-prone forests in the country and sound the alarm at the first sign of smoke. Fire Season is Connors's remarkable reflection on work, our place in the wild, and the charms of solitude. The landscape over which he keeps watch is rugged and roadless - it was the first region in the world to be officially placed off limits to industrial machines - and it typically gets hit by lightning more than 30,000 times per year. Connors recounts his days and nights in this forbidding land, untethered from the comforts of modern life: the eerie pleasure of being alone in his glass-walled perch with only his dog Alice for company; occasional visits from smokejumpers and long- distance hikers; the strange dance of communion and wariness with bears, elk, and other wild creatures; trips to visit the hidden graves of buffalo soldiers slain during the Apache wars of the nineteenth century; and always the majesty and might of lightning storms and untamed fire.

  • Anticlea Mogollonensis)
    Final Report: Habitat survey, seed collection, and post-fire effects monitoring of Mogollon Death Camas (Anticlea mogollonensis). Submitted by John Moeny, to the New Mexico Native Plant Society, Janurary 2016. In 2015, I received a grant from the New Mexico Native Plant Society to broaden the current knowledge of, and contribute to, the conservation of a rare New Mexico endemic, Anticlea mogollonensis, Mogollon Death Camas. The grant had three goals: 1) find new locations of the plant and delineate the known range of the species; 2) revisit existing sites that burned in the 2012 Whitewater Baldy fire to see how they responded to both the direct effects of the fire and the post-fire watershed treatments; 3) collect seed for ex-situ conservation and propagation. This report summarizes my field work and findings. Project Background: Anticlea mogollonensis is a narrowly distributed species endemic to high elevations in the Mogollon mountain range in southwest New Mexico. It is a relatively newly discovered species, being first described in literature in 1995 (Hess and Sivinski 1995). The plant itself is stunning—up to 1 meter tall with nodding, campanulate flowers crowding the raceme. Flower color can be highly variable, from mostly green and tinged with red or purple, to almost entirely dark purple. Individual plants have between 10- 50 flowers and are gregarious amongst each other with specimens numbering in the hundreds on favorable sites. During the summer blooming period, the plant is unmistakable and very showy in its high elevation habitat. Figure 1. Close-up of Anticlea mogollonensis flowers and inflorescence. Previous reports and collections identify the typical habitat as mixed conifer understory.
