It all started when the young Kimmel brothers brought him bones of ancient bison and a Folsom point found there. Throughout the decades, Holden’s research championed protection of the Lubbock Lake. He oversaw excavations, worked with community leaders, and raised community awareness with his own guided tours into the late 1960s.

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.

    Excerpt From

    Excerpt from: The Centennial History of Lubbock: Hub City of the Plains By Paul H. Carlson Copyright 2008 by Lubbock Centennial Corporation Pages 125-129 The modern era began with the tornado in 1970. The huge storm caught Lubbock and its citizens by surprise. The day, May 11, had been warm and humid, and there was little indication of a major weather event. But, early that Monday evening, winds picked up, clouds moved in, and a bit of rain fell. About dusk, some accounts note, a twister struck near Sixty-sixth Street and University Avenue, leaving, before it dissipated, plenty of property damage. There may have been one or two other twisters involved. But, then, later, about 9:40 p.m., most reports suggest, a powerful, swirling tempest with very high winds, hail, and heavy rainfall dropped out of the dark, night sky near Nineteenth Street and University Avenue. This giant tornado cut a wide swath. As it roared and spun and circled its way through the city with winds that may have reached well over two hundred miles per hour, it moved toward and into the down-town area. Then, suddenly, it turned to the north to smash with massive destructiveness through the neighborhood north of Tenth Street and the Guadalupe community beyond Fourth Street. If in fact it was a single twister, it continued toward the north along the Amarillo highway, and before dissipating about ten o'clock, it had leveled homes in the Country Club addition and shattered businesses along north Highway 87. Personal injuries and loss of life were high.

  • Lubbock Comprehensive Plan Introduction

    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.

    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.

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.
