  • Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands Travel Management Environmental Assessment
    Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands Travel Management Environmental Assessment Recreation Specialist Report (Unit K-109 accessed by National Forest System Road K107, Harding County, New Mexico) Prepared by: John G. Baumchen Recreation Specialist for: Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands Cibola National Forest February 6th, 2012 Background The Kiowa and Rita Blanca Ranger District is comprised of two National Grasslands: The Kiowa National Grasslands (NG), which covers 137,157 acres and is located within Mora, Harding, Union, and Colfax Counties, New Mexico, while the Rita Blanca NG, which covers 92,989 acres located in Dallam County, Texas and in Cimarron County, Oklahoma The district office is located in Clayton, New Mexico. It is just west of the eastern portion of the Kiowa, while the villages of Roy and Mosquero, New Mexico are south of the western part of the Kiowa. The small unincorporated community of Felt, Oklahoma is within the Rita Blanca NG. Texline, Texas is along the southwest boundary of the Rita Blanca. Dalhart, Texas is south of the Rita Blanca while Stratford, Texas is just east of the Rita Blanca. The district is located in the southern portion of the North American Great Plains region in the short grass prairie. It is located in a sparsely-populated rural area, that is away from population centers, is isolated, and only has a few developed recreational facilities. The district receives a low to moderate amount of motor vehicle use related to recreational activities. There are several larger communities in the three-state region near the district office, including: Raton, New Mexico, approximately 83 miles to the northwest, Guymon, Oklahoma, approximately 105 miles to the east, Tucumcari, New Mexico, about 112 miles to the southwest, Amarillo, Texas, about 131 miles southeast, and Las Vegas, New Mexico, about 150 miles to the southwest.

    United States Department of Agriculture Vascular Plants and a Brief Forest Service Rocky Mountain History of the Kiowa and Rita Research Station General Technical Report Blanca National Grasslands RMRS-GTR-233 December 2009 Donald L. Hazlett, Michael H. Schiebout, and Paulette L. Ford Hazlett, Donald L.; Schiebout, Michael H.; and Ford, Paulette L. 2009. Vascular plants and a brief history of the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS- GTR-233. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L. Hazlett is an ethnobotanist, Director of New World Plants and People consulting, and a research associate at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, CO.

  • Core Data Development
    United States Department RMAP of Agriculture Regional Riparian Mapping Project Forest Service Southwestern F. Jack Triepke Region Maximillian M. Wahlberg Debbie C. Cress September 2013 (revised August 2018) Robert L. Benton Abstract Triepke, F.J., M.M. Wahlberg, D.C. Cress, and R.L. Benton. 2018. RMAP – Regional Riparian Mapping Project. USDA Forest Service project report available online < http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/r3/landmanagement/gis>. Southwestern Region, Albuquerque, NM. 53 pp. Vegetation mapping helps to facilitate the research, assessment, and management of natural resources. Advances in GIS and remote sensing technologies have enabled more efficient, accurate, and precise mapping capabilities. This project leveraged recently developed technical capabilities to map riparian plant communities across Forests and Grasslands of the US Forest Service Southwestern Region. Valley bottom models provided spatial hypotheses from which to base photo interpretation of riparian vegetation types and to map the total extent of riparian communities at the scale of 1:12,000, with a map legend of 24 map units, nine subclasses, one provisional map unit, and two provisional subclasses. High resolution infrared photography and other ancillary references were used to develop and corroborate inferences of riparian settings. Local partners provided riparian data, field validation, and review as a key part of map development. Also, of the approximately 819,000 acres (332,000ha) in the final map product, over 266,000 acres (108,000ha) were adopted and normalized from previous mapping projects including the Terrestrial Ecological Unit Inventory. An independent accuracy assessment of the new mapping was completed to determine overall map performance in regards to map themes and spatial accuracy by errors of omission and commission.

  • Can We Save the Wolf?
    www.nmwild.org By Stephen Capra It was 1998. After two decades of planning, environmental assessment, threats of litigation, and sometimes ran- corous public debate, something special was happening. Mexican wolves were once again free in the wilds of the Blue Range of Arizona and poised to return to the Gila country of New Mexico. It was a hopeful moment for the most imper- iled subspecies of gray wolf in North America—the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi.) Much like recovery efforts in the northern Rocky Mountains, where wolves had been released into Yellow- stone National Park and central Idaho, TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES: CAN WE SAVE THE WOLF? it seemed we had learned in the South- west to share our lands with native wild- life. Working with ranchers and rural communities, conservationists sensed a new respect for nature and a desire for ecological balance taking root after generations of abuse and slaughter. But unlike Yellowstone’s success, the fate of the Mexican lobo is far from certain. The story of Canis lupus baileyi is a complex and mostly frustrating tale of good intentions, an old West mentality, politics, and unsatisfactory results. Origi- nally, the Mexican wolf ranged from central Mexico to today’s U.S. Interstate 10 in Arizona and New Mexico. It was exterminated from the southwestern United States by the U.S. Bureau of Biological Survey. In 1950, the Bureau’s successor agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, launched a program in Mexico that eliminated almost all of its wolves by the mid-1970s. Such see CAN WE SAVE , pg.
