    A Proposed Low Distortion Projection for the City of Las Cruces and Dona Ana County Scott Farnham, PE, PS City Surveyor, City of Las Cruces NM October 2020 Introduction As part of the ongoing modernization of the U.S. National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) will replace our horizontal and vertical datums (NAD83 and NAVD88) with new geometric datums assigned in the North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (NATRF2022). The City of Las Cruces / Dona Ana County and the City of Albuquerque / Bernalillo County submitted proposals to NGS to incorporate Low Distortion Projections (LDP) as part of the New Mexico State Plane Coordinate Systems. Approval by NGS was obtained on June 17, 2019 for the proposed systems (see approval notice). Design of the LDP is the responsibility of the submitting agencies and must be submitted to NGS on or prior to March 31, 2021. Mark Marrujo1 with NMDOT is submitting final LDP design forms to NGS for the State of New Mexico. The City of Las Cruces (City) is designing a new Low Distortion Projection for Public Works Department, Engineering and Architecture projects to NGS criteria. To meet NGS LDP minimum size and shape criterion, the LDP area extends to Dona Ana County (County) boundary lines. This report presents design analysis and conclusions of the proposed City / County local NGS LDP system for stakeholders’ review prior to NGS final design submittal. NGS NM SPCS2022 Zones and Stakeholder Organizations NGS is designing new State Plane Coordinate Systems (SPCS2022) for New Mexico. The default SPCS2022 designs for the State are a statewide single zone and the three State Plane Zones: West, Central, and East.

SEAGER Departmentof Earth Sciences,New Mexico State University,Las Cruces MATTHEW P. GOLOMBEK Jet PropulsionLaboratory, CaliforniaInstitute of Technology,Pasadena Careful documentationof the Cenozoicgeologic history of the Rio Grande rift in New Mexico reveals a complexsequence of events.At least two phasesof extensionhave been identified.An early phase of extensionbegan in the mid-Oligocene(about 30 Ma) and may have continuedto the early Miocene (about 18 Ma). This phaseof extensionwas characterizedby local high-strainextension events (locally, 50-100%,regionally, 30-50%), low-anglefaulting, and the developmentof broad, relativelyshallow basins, all indicatingan approximatelyNE-SW •-25ø extensiondirection, consistent with the regionalstress field at that time.Extension events were not synchronousduring early phase extension and were often temporally and spatiallyassociated with major magmatism.A late phaseof extensionoccurred primarily in the late Miocene(10-5 Ma) with minor extensioncontinuing to the present.It was characterizedby apparently synchronous,high-angle faulting givinglarge verticalstrains with relativelyminor lateral strain (5-20%) whichproduced the moderuRio Granderift morphology.Extension direction was approximatelyE-W, consistentwith the contemporaryregional stress field. Late phasegraben or half-grabenbasins cut and often obscureearly phasebroad basins.Early phase extensionalstyle and basin formation indicate a ductilelithosphere, and this extensionoccurred during the climax of Paleogenemagmatic activity in this zone.Late phaseextensional style indicates a more brittle lithosphere,and this extensionfollowed a middle Miocenelull in volcanism.Regional uplift of about1 km appearsto haveaccompanied late phase extension, andrelatively minor volcanism has continued to thepresent.

  • Plan for the Recovery of Desert Bighorn Sheep in New Mexico 2003-2013
    PLAN FOR THE RECOVERY OF DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP IN NEW MEXICO 2003-2013 New Mexico Department of Game and Fish August 2003 Executive Summary Desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis mexicana) were once prolific in New Mexico, occupying most arid mountain ranges in the southern part of the state. Over-hunting, and disease transmission from livestock are 2 primary reasons for the dramatic decline in bighorn sheep numbers throughout the west during the early 1900s. In 1980, desert bighorn were placed on New Mexico’s endangered species list. From 1992-2003, approximately 25% of bighorn were radiocollared to learn causes of mortality driving this species towards extinction. Approximately 85% of all known-cause non-hunter killed radiocollared individuals have been killed by mountain lions. Despite the lack of a native ungulate prey base in desert bighorn range, mountain lion populations remain high, leading to the hypothesis that mountain lions are subsidized predators feeding on exotic ungulates, including cattle. Lack of fine fuels from cattle grazing have resulted in a lack of fire on the landscape. This has lead to increased woody vegetation which inhibits bighorn’s ability to detect and escape from predators. Bighorn numbers in spring 2003 in New Mexico totaled 213 in the wild, and 91 at the Red Rock captive breeding facility. This is in spite of releasing 266 bighorn from Red Rock and 30 bighorn from Arizona between 1979 and 2002. Several existing herds of desert bighorn likely need an augmentation to prevent them from going extinct. The presence of domestic sheep and Barbary sheep, which pose risks to bighorn from fatal disease transmission and aggression, respectively, preclude reintroduction onto many unoccupied mountain ranges.

ICANA A C i e n A ñ o s Geologic structure of the northern margin of the Chihuahua trough: Evidence for controlled deformation during Laramide Orogeny Dana Carciumaru1,*, Roberto Ortega2 1 Orbis Consultores en Geología y Geofísica, Mexico, D.F, Mexico. 2 Centro de Investigación Científi ca y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE) Unidad La Paz, Mirafl ores 334, Fracc.Bella Vista, La Paz, BCS, 23050, Mexico. *[email protected] Abstract In this article we studied the northern part of the Laramide foreland of the Chihuahua Trough. The purpose of this work is twofold; fi rst we studied whether the deformation involves or not the basement along crustal faults (thin- or thick- skinned deformation), and second, we studied the nature of the principal shortening directions in the Chihuahua Trough. In this region, style of deformation changes from motion on moderate to low angle thrust and reverse faults within the interior of the basin to basement involved reverse faulting on the adjacent platform. Shortening directions estimated from the geometry of folds and faults and inversion of fault slip data indicate that both basement involved structures and faults within the basin record a similar Laramide deformation style. Map scale relationships indicate that motion on high angle basement involved thrusts post dates low angle thrusting. This is consistent with the two sets of faults forming during a single progressive deformation with in - sequence - thrusting migrating out of the basin onto the platform.

  • Letter to Senate Appropriations Interior Subcommittee FY22 BLM
    March 17, 2021 The Honorable Jeff Merkley The Honorable Lisa Murkowski Chair Ranking Member Subcommittee on Interior, Subcommittee on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Environment and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations Committee on Appropriations United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairman Merkley and Ranking Member Murkowski: Thank you for increasing funding for key Bureau of Land Management (BLM) accounts in the FY2021 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. As you prepare the FY2022 Interior Appropriations bill, we encourage you to build on that important work by including at least $21.131 million for BLM’s cultural resources account and at least $65.131 million for the National Conservation Lands. The BLM manages the largest, most diverse, and most scientifically important body of cultural, historical, and paleontological resources of any federal land management agency. Yet only about 10 percent of BLM lands have been surveyed for cultural resources. We urge the Committee to provide at least $21.131 million—an increase from FY2021 of $1.5 million—for the BLM’s cultural resources management account to help BLM fulfill its statutory requirements to inventory and protect cultural resources, manage paleontological resources, and improve government-to-government consultation with Indian tribes. This modest increase in funding would also support ongoing collaboration with state historic preservation officers in the West to standardize and integrate cultural resources data for BLM lands through the National Cultural Resources Information Management System (NCRIMS). This effort is a significant and often overlooked preservation success story. It funds predictive modeling and data analysis, in partnership with state historic preservation offices, to support planning for large scale cross-jurisdictional and other projects.

    Reassessment of features in the Aden Crater lava flows, Doña Ana County, New Mexico René A. De Hon and Richard A. Earl Department of Geography, Texas State University, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, Texas 78666 Abstract Introduction Aden Crater lava field, encompassing 75 km2 in The Aden Crater lava field encompassing 75 km2 in south-central New Mexico, offers excellent examples of south-central New Mexico offers excellent examples of fea- features of basalt flows associated with a shield volcano. Aerial images and recent field examination allow a tures of basalt flows associated with an Icelandic-type shield re-evaluation of the lava field’s surface features. Aden volcano. In this paper, we present interpretations of some Crater sits atop the summit of the shield (referred to of these features based on recently published work (Walker, herein as the cone) which is surfaced by channeled lavas 2009), new aerial images, and field examination of the flows merging downslope into lobate lava flows.

    New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Socorro, New Mexico Information: 505-835-5420 Publications: 505-83-5490 FAX: 505-835-6333 A Division of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Dear “Rockhound” Thank you for your interest in mineral collecting in New Mexico. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has put together this packet of material (we call it our “Rockhound Guide”) that we hope will be useful to you. This information is designed to direct people to localities where they may collect specimens and also to give them some brief information about the area. These sites have been chosen because they may be reached by passenger car. We hope the information included here will lead to many enjoyable hours of collecting minerals in the “Land of Enchantment.” Enjoy your excursion, but please follow these basic rules: Take only what you need for your own collection, leave what you can’t use. Keep New Mexico beautiful. If you pack it in, pack it out. Respect the rights of landowners and lessees. Make sure you have permission to collect on private land, including mines. Be extremely careful around old mines, especially mine shafts. Respect the desert climate. Carry plenty of water for yourself and your vehicle. Be aware of flash-flooding hazards. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has a whole series of publications to assist in the exploration for mineral resources in New Mexico. These publications are reasonably priced at about the cost of printing. New Mexico State Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Bulletin 87, “Mineral and Water Resources of New Mexico,” describes the important mineral deposits of all types, as presently known in the state.
