  • A Visitor's Guide to El Camino Del Diablo Leg 2B: El Camino Del Diablo from Tule Well to Tinajas Altas
    Cabeza Prieta Natural History Association A Visitor's Guide to El Camino del Diablo Leg 2b: El Camino del Diablo from Tule Well to Tinajas Altas Mile 69.0. 32°13’35”N, 113°44’59”W. 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.

  • D.7 Cultural and Paleontological Resources
    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.

This is the second largest family in the flora area after Asteraceae. A total of 97 taxa in 46 genera of grasses are included in this publication, which includes ones established and reproducing in the modern flora (86 taxa in 43 genera), some occurring at the margins of the flora area or no long known from the area, and ice age fossils. At least 28 taxa are known by fossils recovered from packrat middens, five of which have not been found in the modern flora: little barley ( Hordeum pusillum ), cliff muhly ( Muhlenbergia polycaulis ), Paspalum sp., mutton bluegrass ( Poa fendleriana ), and bulb panic grass ( Zuloagaea bulbosa ). Non-native grasses are represented by 27 species, or 28% of the modern grass flora.

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. Then all my thoughts will be centered on home." Charles Sheldon, The Wilderness of Desert Bighorns and Seri Indians Mile 0.0. 32°19’31.1"N, 114°02’59"W. Key Junction at sign A-16.

Your request for formal consultation was dated April 19, 2002, and received by us on April 23, 2002. At issue are impacts that may result from the proposed reauthorization of livestock grazing on the Sentinel, Cameron, Childs, Coyote Flat, and Why allotments located in Maricopa and Pima counties, Arizona. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has determined that the proposed action for the five allotments may adversely affect the endangered Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis), and the proposed action for the Cameron and Childs allotments may adversely affect the endangered cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl (Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum). In your letter, you also requested our concurrence that the proposed action on the Cameron, Childs, Coyote Flat, and Why allotments may affect, but will not likely adversely affect, the endangered lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris curasoae yerbabuena). We concur with that determination, which is based on sound analysis and guidance criteria for the species mutually agreed upon by our agencies.
