You will see some new developments on the Llano Estacado Wildflower Trail. Staff from Texas Tech’s Department of Facilities, Planning, and Construction devised a plan to build a more suitable trail head entrance. This design will make the trail head ADA compliant along with the additional 1/2 mile portion of the trail. Grade work preparations began last fall by Erodium cicutarium, Erodium texanum Storksbill Landmark staff, and the final grade and concrete work was finished by a local construction contractor in When one looks at the wildflower storksbill, it is very difficult to March. Completing the project requires anchoring know the species at which you may be looking. Let us examine 4”x4”x8’L beams to concrete beams, spaced selectively, the differences between two types of storksbill: Erodium then screwing down Trex® decking joists to the 4”x4” cicutarium and Erodium Texanum. Both species have similar lumber beams, and drilling Trex® decking into the common names.

  • Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction
    Population and Economics 2004 Update Report Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction The Population and Economics Report is an element of the Lubbock Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the structure of the economy and demography of Lubbock and produce projections for population, land use and economic development. The Population and Economics Report should be evaluated on a timely basis to reflect changes in the economy and demography of Lubbock. The Population and Economics report is used by businesses, governmental agencies, churches, students, and civic organizations to determine needs and develop strategies to meet those needs. To better serve users of this report a greater emphasis is on the graphic presentation of statistical data. The Population and Economics Report is divided into sections on the economy, population and goals. Evaluation of the economic structure is fundamental to the population analysis because economic and human resources are the foundation of any community. Goals reflect the desires of the citizens to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for their community and to focus the available resources to achieve these goals. Most chapters in the report are subdivided into Historic, Existing and Outlook sections to illustrate the evolution of the specific topics. To accommodate the increased interest in water usage and planning, projections are made to the year 2050 for the City of Lubbock and the Retail Trade area. It should be noted that while the Planning Department of the City of Lubbock is responsible for this report and great care has been used in the assembly and review of this document, accuracy is limited by the reliability of the current Land Use Data File and the accuracy of data obtained from other sources.

  • Notes from the ...Field the Landmark Is on Fire
    The Newsletter of Lubbock Lake National Historic Landmark Winter 2013 Notes from the ...Field The Landmark is on Fire By Matthew McEwen, Heritage Maintenance Technician Heritage Maintenance Supervisor Scott Trevey directs fire fighters from Lubbock Fire Department At the Landmark, prescribed burning is a part of restoration efforts in order to manipulate the vegetation to what it looked like before European settlement. Fire plays an integral part for achieving many of the management objectives. These objectives include suppressing mesquite, increasing biodiversity, and improving habitat for the Texas horned lizard. Prescribed burning is the controlled application of fire to the landscape under specified environmental conditions. Weather in the for of wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity, and frontal systems are important factors when planning and implementing a prescribed burn. The trails, perimeter roads, and archaeology-friendly mineral lines are used where possible to confine where the fire should burn. The Landmark’s recent reintroduction of fire includes prescribed burning of several hundred brush piles since 2006, a prescribed burn around the Llano Estacado Wildflower Trail in 2009, and another in the northern 80 acres in 2010. These burns have been applied during the dormant season. The dormant season typically provides for higher humidity and lower temperatures, allowing the fire behavior to be relatively predictable.

    MPMA 2020 poster session Student poster presentations (n=13) 1. Kelsey Barnett Graduate Fellow in Museum Science, Heritage and Museum Sciences, Museum of Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas Saving Time: Creating Accessible Collections Through Phased Catalog Entry Abstract – For all museums, the issue of balancing time with collections needs is ever present. Creating catalog records for collections with a large number of objects can take time away from other important projects. Three methods of catalog data entry have been tested for speed and accessibility while creating records for a large mineral collection with a previously documented inventory. After comparing the number of records created in a defined period of time per method, a phased entry format saves the most time and allowed for ease of access. This type of data entry turns the original inventory into a relational database by using catalog numbers and mineral DANA numbers, a mineral classification system, as common datapoints. This commonality ensures all original documentation is linked to the new, abbreviated records. Phased catalog entry is a method any museum can use to create time manageable projects while also maintaining collections management standards. 2. Rachel Chovan Lubbock Lake Landmark Collections Research Assistant, Heritage and Museum Sciences, Museum of Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas A Ventilated Storage Box for Gasoline and Paraffin Treated Objects Abstract – Museum professionals often encounter collection objects that were treated historically with hazardous chemicals for pest prevention and preservation. Timber beam sections and corn cobs from sites excavated in Texas and New Mexico during the 1930s and 1950s have been identified as having been treated with leaded gasoline and paraffin.

  • Texas Archeology Month 2019 Calendar of Events
    Texas Archeology Month 2019 Calendar of Events Texas Archeology Month (TAM) is held each October and promotes the appreciation of scientific archeology, prehistory, Native American cultures, and the stewardship of Texas’ irreplaceable archeological resources. Check out the listings below to find a TAM event or activity near you! Month-Long Exhibits & Recurring Events Brady, McCulloch County Clean-up of Soldier's Water Hole historical marker and site Oct. 1 - 31 Self-guided tour None - donations appreciated The main project focus during 2019-2020 of the McCulloch County Historical Commission (located in Brady) is the surveying/repairing and publicizing/promoting of the county's 21 state historical markers. The commission is pleased that it will be working with Ledger Bucholz, a local Eagle Scout candidate who has received Boy Scout approval for the clean-up of the Marker 4976 site (known as Soldier's Water Hole) for his qualifying project. Ledger has developed a plan that he will implement during October in cooperation with the commission. The historical site, a popular local and tourist destination, is badly in need of a general clean-up and some refurbishing. Commemorating the era between between 1850 and 1869, which saw numerous conflicts between the Native Americans, soldiers, and settlers, the marker is located along Onion Creek, on a site that had been an ancient Indian campground - as evidenced by numerous grinding holes and other artifacts. The historical commission plans to host a 2020 Soldier's Water Hole event that will further commemorate the poignancy of the inevitable clash of cultures that took place at the site.
