  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • Texas Mountain Trail Region
    Guadalupe Mountains National Park reathtaking mountains and high-country hikes. Sheer river canyons and winding back roads. BB Exotic desert panoramas and star-studded nights. These sights and more delight visitors at every turn in the six Far West Texas counties of the Texas Mountain Trail Region. Stretched across two time zones, Central and Mountain, this far-flung region is a geological wonder. During the Permian period more than 250 million years ago, the land lay near the equator in the supercontinent of Pangea. Continental shifting and volcanic action eventually thrust the land upward; millennia of wind and water eroded it, sculpting majestic mountains and mesas. Dinosaurs roamed for millions of years when the land bordered a shallow sea. The Rio Grande gradually carved a deep notch in the mountains, creating a natural river crossing that Spanish explorers named El Paso del Norte. The river also created glorious canyons in today’s Big Bend National Park. Throughout the centuries, the climate grew hotter and the land drier. To survive, wildlife and prehistoric hunter-gatherers adapted to desert conditions. Later, diverse groups — Native Americans and Spanish missionaries, soldiers and miners, ranchers and railroaders –– passed this way in search of wealth, glory and new beginnings. A century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca traveled with the first European expedition here in the 1530s. He encountered agricultural communities and scattered nomadic tribes. Later Spanish expeditions introduced horses, cattle, sheep and wheeled vehicles to natives. The Land ★ ★ ★ ★ of Endless Vistas Enjoy nature’s solitude in the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park.

  • New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Rockhound Guide
    New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Socorro, New Mexico Information: 505-835-5420 Publications: 505-83-5490 FAX: 505-835-6333 A Division of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Dear “Rockhound” Thank you for your interest in mineral collecting in New Mexico. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has put together this packet of material (we call it our “Rockhound Guide”) that we hope will be useful to you. This information is designed to direct people to localities where they may collect specimens and also to give them some brief information about the area. These sites have been chosen because they may be reached by passenger car. We hope the information included here will lead to many enjoyable hours of collecting minerals in the “Land of Enchantment.” Enjoy your excursion, but please follow these basic rules: Take only what you need for your own collection, leave what you can’t use. Keep New Mexico beautiful. If you pack it in, pack it out. Respect the rights of landowners and lessees. Make sure you have permission to collect on private land, including mines. Be extremely careful around old mines, especially mine shafts. Respect the desert climate. Carry plenty of water for yourself and your vehicle. Be aware of flash-flooding hazards. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has a whole series of publications to assist in the exploration for mineral resources in New Mexico. These publications are reasonably priced at about the cost of printing. New Mexico State Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Bulletin 87, “Mineral and Water Resources of New Mexico,” describes the important mineral deposits of all types, as presently known in the state.
