Whether you hunt with a bow, a muzzle loader, a rifle or a shotgun, we are pleased to offer you so many hunting opportunities across our state. In this publication, you’ll find many of the great ways to enjoy hunting in Arizona. Unlike other states where private land ownership limits the places where hunting is allowed, Arizona is fortunate to have abundant public lands where hunting, camping and other uses are not only allowed but encouraged. Arizona’s private landowners also un- derstand the economic value of hunting, and the Game and Fish Department works with them to allow hunting on their land. Such agreements have opened up more than 4.3 million acres of pri- vate property to hunting. Combine all this hunting territory with nearly perfect weather year-round, and you’ll understand why Arizona is a hunter’s paradise. Arizona hunters aren’t just one-season wonders, they also take Many hunters find fulfillment and fun by joining hunting groups or advantage of our year-round opportunities to hunt.

Key Junction, Tule Well. At the junction head west (left) to go to Tinajas Altas. Tule Well has a cabin, well, large water tank, and picnic tables. The current cabin was built in 1989 by the US Air Force’s 832nd Civil Engineering Squadron to help celebrate the refuge’s 50th anniversary, and it replaced an earlier cabin built in 1949 for refuge staff, livestock line-riders, and border agents. Traces of the old well are visible. The campground has several picnic tables. The flagpole and Boy Scout monument northwest of the cabin were built for the refuge’s dedication in March 1941 and enhanced in 1989. The original plan was to place a life- sized statue of a bighorn sheep on the monument’s base. The scouts were instrumental in a political campaign to establish the refuge. The original hand-dug well was not there at the time of the Gadsden Purchase and subsequent boundary survey of 1854, nor did Pumpelly mention a well when he passed this way in 1861. But the boundary surveyors of 1891-1896 reported, “During the ‘early sixties’ [1860s] there was a large influx in Mexicans from Sonora to the gold diggings on the Colorado River, and an enterprising Mexican dug two wells near the road, in the purpose of selling water to travelers. But the deaths from thirst along this route became so frequent that the road was soon abandoned and for over twenty years had remained unused.” By another account, perhaps apocryphal, the enterprising Mexican who dug the wells was killed by someone who refused to pay for water.

    Devers–Palo Verde No. 2 Transmission Line Project D.7 CULTURAL AND PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES D.7 Cultural and Paleontological Resources D.7.1 Regional Setting and Approach to Data Collection This section discusses the cultural and paleontological resources located in the general area of the Pro- posed Project. Background information for the project area is provided (Section D.7.2 and D.7.3) along with a list of applicable regulations (Section D.7.4). Potential impacts and mitigation measures for the Proposed Project are outlined by segment in Sections D.7.6 and D.7.7. Project alternatives are addressed in Sections D.7.8 and D.7.9. A cultural resource is defined as any object or specific location of past human activity, occupation, or use, identifiable through historical documentation, inventory, or oral evidence. Cultural resources can be separated into three categories: archaeological, building and structural, and traditional resources (DSW EIR, 2005). Archaeological resources include both historic and prehistoric remains of human activity. Historic re- sources can consist of structures (cement foundations), historic objects (bottles and cans), and sites (trash deposits or scatters). Prehistoric resources can include lithic scatters, ceramic scatters, quarries, habitation sites, temporary camps/rock rings, ceremonial sites, and trails. Building and structural sites can vary from historic buildings to canals, historic roads and trails, bridges, ditches, and cemeteries. A traditional cultural resource or traditional cultural property (TCP) can include Native American sacred sites (rock art sites) and traditional resources or ethnic communities important for maintaining the cul- tural traditions of any group. Paleontology is the study of life in past geologic time based on fossil plants and animals and including phylogeny, their relationships to existing plants, animals, and environments, and the chronology of the Earth's history.

Tomorrow, Win comes with the horses and I shall go home as quickly as possible. But I will not forget these mystical nights, sitting alone here in camp in the moonlit desert. The calm, the silence, the radiance of the mountains, the softness of the light and the mystery pervading the scene. My trip has been completely successful…. The sunsets have been wonderful, especially tonight, with the lighted clouds changing from golden to crimson to pink, all seen through the vistas of the craggy mountain masses. As I look out on the desert by moonlight, it seems so soft and hospitable. The sense of its death-dealing aridity is lost. I shall hunt for an hour at daylight and that will be my last.

Black Mountain (3,008 feet), standing to left of the road ahead, is an eroded remnant of a basaltic volcano that once covered a much larger area. The horizontal banding is due to differences in hardness between the basalt flows and softer tuffs that have been tilted and faulted. The brown- black color tinged with red is typical oxidation and weathering for such rocks.
  • Section Seven—Environmental Element

    Section Seven—Environmental Element

    Environmental Element Section Seven—Environmental Element County growth and development trends present challenges to environmental conservation. The increased use of natural resources, air and water pollution, loss of agriculturally productive lands and decline of open space are examples of development consequences. The impact of de- velopment must be balanced to ensure protection of our environment. The provisions of this element apply countywide. Growing Smarter Plus does not require envi- ronmental impact statements beyond those already required. Although the environmental ele- ment is optional, it has been adopted by the Board and thereby recognized as important to the health, safety and welfare of the community. This Environmental Element includes analysis, policies and strategies to address any antici- pated effects of the plan’s elements and new development called for by the plan on air and wa- ter quality and natural resources. The environmental element is composed of eight sections: Legislative Requirement Purpose Environmental Plan CAG Recommendations Policies and Priorities Environmental Actions State and Federal Environmental Laws Soils Types 7.1 Legislative Requirement Arizona Revised Statutes specifies that a Comprehensive Plan must have an Environmental Element to address related concerns. Requirements of ARS §11-804 (C)(3). are as follows: An environmental planning element that contains analyses, policies and strategies to address anticipated effects, if any, of plan elements on air quality, water quality and natural resources associated with proposed development under the comprehensive plan. The policies and strategies to be developed under this element shall be designed to have countywide applicability and shall not require the production of an additional environmental impact statement or similar analysis beyond the requirements of state and federal law.
