  • Delaware Indian Land Claims: a Historical and Legal Perspective
    Delaware Indian land Claims: A Historical and Legal Perspective DAVID A. EZZO Alden, New York and MICHAEL MOSKOWITZ Wantagh, New York In this paper we shall discuss Delaware Indian land claims in both a histori­ cal and legal context. The first section of the paper deals with the historical background necessary to understand the land claims filed by the Delaware. In the second part of the paper the focus is on a legal review of the Delaware land claims cases. Ezzo is responsible for the first section while Moskowitz is responsible for the second section. 1. History The term Delaware has been used to describe the descendants of the Native Americans that resided in the Delaware River Valley and other adjacent areas at the start of the 17th century. The Delaware spoke two dialects: Munsee and Unami, both of these belong to the Eastern Algonquian Lan­ guage family. Goddard has noted that the Delaware never formed a single political unit. He also has noted that the term Delaware was only applied to these groups after they had migrated from their original Northeastern homeland. Goddard sums up the Delaware migration as follows: The piecemeal western migration, in the face of white settlement and its attendant pressures during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, left the Delaware in a number of widely scattered places in Southern Ontario, Western New York, Wisconsin, Kansas and Oklahoma. Their history involves the repeated divisions and consolidations of many villages and of local, political and linguistic groups that developed in complicated and incompletely known ways. In addition, individuals, families and small groups were constantly moving from place to place.

  • QUATERNARY GEOLOGIC MAP of AUSTIN 4° X 6° QUADRANGLE, UNITED STATES
    QUATERNARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF AUSTIN 4° x 6° QUADRANGLE, UNITED STATES QUATERNARY GEOLOGIC ATLAS OF THE UNITED STATES MAP I-1420 (NH-14) State compilations by David W. Moore and E.G. Wermund, Jr. Edited and integrated by David W. Moore, Gerald M. Richmond and Ann Coe Christiansen 1993 NOTE: This map is the product of collaboration of the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology and the U.S. Geological Survey, and is designed for both scientific and practical purposes. It was prepared in two stages. First, the map and map explanations were prepared by the State compiler. Second, information on the map was integrated with that of adjacent maps, locally supplemented, and related to a uniform map symbol classification by the editors. Map unit descriptions were edited, supplemented, and coordinated with those of other maps of this series so that individual unit descriptions are applicable throughout both this map and all other maps of the series. Problems of mapping or interpretation in different areas were resolved by correspondence to the extent possible; most simply reflect differences in available information or differences in philosophies of mapping and serve to encourage further investigation. Less than forty percent of the surficial deposits of the United States have been mapped and described. Traditionally, mapping of surficial deposits has focused on glacial, alluvial, eolian, lacustrine, marine, and landslide deposits. Slope and upland deposits have been mapped in detail only in restricted areas. However, an enormous amount of engineering construction and many important problems of land use and land management are associated with regions that have extensive slope and upland deposits (colluvium and residuum, for example).

  • The Los Medaños Member of the Permian (Ochoan) Rustler Formation
    The Los Medaños Member of the Permian (Ochoan) Rustler Formation by Dennis W. Powers, HC 12 Box 87, Anthony, TX 79821; and Robert M. Holt, Dept. of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 Abstract We propose Los Medaños Member as the formal name for the lower part of the Upper Permian (Ochoan) Rustler Formation, below R31E the Culebra Dolomite Member, in the north- ern Delaware Basin. The stratotype is at the exhaust shaft of the Waste Isolation Pilot Exhaust Plant (WIPP) site in sec 20 T22S R31E, Eddy shaft T22S County, New Mexico. The name is derived from the nearby sand dune field (Los Meda- ños) and the quadrangle map of the same WIPP site name. Cores of the Los Medaños from WIPP studies correspond to the exhaust-shaft Los Medanos~ geology, though larger features revealed in T23S the shaft must be inferred.

  • Top-Industries-Texas-Panhandle
    TOP INDUSTRIES of Amarillo & the Texas Panhandle Amarillo’s assets extend far beyond its agricultural commodities and vast land resources. The Texas Panhandle’s economy encompasses a diverse group of industries, from livestock and food technologies to renewable energy and logistics. Each industry helps maintain the region’s, as well as Amarillo’s, economic health. Here’s a look at the top industries of the Texas Panhandle. In the late 1980s, the Amarillo area faced paltry business conditions and limited employment opportunities for area residents. At that time, the unemployment rate was higher than the national average and consumer activity was in a state of decline. Fast forward 30 years, and Amarillo touts an unemployment rate lower than the national average and a diverse industry list. National reports consistently list Amarillo as one of the “Best Cities to Start a Business.” NUMBER OF BUSINESSES (2016) AMARILLO POTTER COUNTY RANDALL COUNTY 10,108 7,044 4,615 businesses businesses businesses 102,970 person labor force TOP 5 LEADING INDUSTRIES BY JOB IN POTTER COUNTY 1 MANUFACTURING 2 RETAIL 3 PROFESSIONAL, 4 HEALTHCARE & 5 ACCOMMODATION & SCIENTIFIC & SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD SERVICES TECHNICAL SERVICE TOP 5 LEADING INDUSTRIES BY JOB IN RANDALL COUNTY 1 RETAIL 2 EDUCATION 3 HEALTHCARE & 4 ACCOMMODATION & 5 OTHER SERVICES SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD SERVICES (Repair, Personal Care, Laundry, Religious, etc.) MAJOR INDUSTRIES OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE Amarillo is one of the top areas for generating wind energy, with Texas being the largest producer of wind power in the country.
