  • 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.

  • Compiled by F. Allan Hills and KA Sargent This Map Report Is One of a Series of Geologic and Hydro
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WRI REPORT 83-4118-D MAP SHOWING OUTCROPS OF GRANITIC ROCKS AND SILICIC SHALLOW-INTRUSIVE ROCKS, BASIN AND RANGE PROVINCE, NEW MEXICO Compiled by F. Allan Hills and K. A. Sargent INTRODUCTION This map report is one of a series of geologic and hydro- logic maps covering all or parts of the States within the Basin and Range province of the western United States. The map reports contain information on subjects that characterize the geohy- drology of the province, including the ground-water hydrology, ground-water quality, surface distribution of selected rock types, tectonic conditions, areal geophysics, Pleistocene lakes and marshes, and mineral and energy resources. This work is part of the U.S. Geological Survey's program for geologic and hydro- logic evalutaion of the Basin and Range province to identify potentially suitable regions for further study relative to storage of high-level nuclear waste (Bedinger, Sargent, and Reed, 1984). This map report on the granitic rocks and silicic shallow- intrusive rocks of New Mexico was prepared from published geo­ logic maps and reports utilizing the project guidelines of Sargent and Bedinger (1984). The map shows outcrops of mostly plutonic granitic rocks, but also of fine-grained and partly glassy, silicic, shallow-intrusive rocks. The outcrops have been grouped into numbered county areas, which are outlined on the map. The Description of Map Units includes the geologic, and if available, radiometric ages, the lithology, thickness where available, and sources of data. Because the classification of plutonic igneous rocks has changed since publication of many reports used in this study, the rock terminology in the original reports has been converted, where possible, to that adopted by the International Union of Geologic Sciences (IUGS), as reported by Streckeisen (1976).
