    ARCHEOLOGICAL JOURNAL OF THE TEXAS PRAIRIE-SAVANNAH AN AJC ENVIRONMENTAL LLC PUBLICATION JESSE TODD, EDITOR VOLUME 4 June 15, 2014 Archeological Journal of the Texas Prairie-Savannah EDITORIAL POLICY The purpose of this journal is to provide information on the archeology of the Texas Prairie-Savannah. We solicit articles from avocational archeologists, vocational archeologists and graduate students who have conducted extremely well done research. As previously mentioned, the focus of the journal is articles on the Texas Prairie- Savannah; however, articles from adjoining areas also are welcome since the boundaries of the prairie-savannah are not well established but have transitional zones. Also, cultural boundaries are not truly dependent upon the boundary of some state that did not exist when the aboriginal inhabitants populated the area. IF YOU HAVE QUALMS ABOUT YOUR WRITING SKILLS, DO NOT LET THAT PROHIBIT YOU FROM SUBMITTING AN ARTICLE. THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE IS MORE IMPORTANT. WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT WILL HELP YOU WITH THE WRITING.

  • Elm Fork Bridge
    Elm Fork Bridge Historical Narrative researched and written by Morgan Gieringer and Zachary Richardson for Texas Historical Commission Recorded Texas Historic Landmark Application, Denton County I. Context The Elm Fork Bridge is one of only two iron/steel bridges in Denton County remaining in its original location on public land and which is also eligible for a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) marker. Other remaining bridges are on private property or are obscured from public access, while the Elm Fork Bridge is a highly visible landmark along the popular Ray Roberts Lake State Park Greenbelt. Completed in 1922, the Elm Fork Bridge was the longest bridge in Denton County at that time. The bridge is located on the Sherman Highway (also known as Sherman Drive), an important feeder road and mail route between the growing northern Denton County communities of Denton, Aubrey, and Sanger.1 The Elm Fork Bridge facilitated better automobile access to the Federal Building (United States Courthouse) in Sherman, of the Sherman Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Improved automobile travel via modern bridges and roads in Denton County was increasingly important in the 1920s, when the use of motor-driven vehicles surpassed travel by horse-drawn wagons and buggies.2 Thus, the Elm Fork Bridge represents an important part of Denton County’s transportation history, particularly the rise of automobile-oriented transportation systems in the 1920s. The road on which the bridge is situated is one of the original wagon trails leading out of the city of Denton.3 The Texas Legislature formed Denton County from a portion of Fannin County in 1846.

  • TAEX Programs Help Reduce Landscape Water Use TWRI
    Volume 6, Number 1, April 1993 TAEX Programs Help Reduce Landscape Water Use Two programs of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service (TAEX) are helping to reduce the amount of water being applied to urban landscapes. Joe Henggeler, a TAEX irrigation specialist, recently surveyed the amount of water applied by more than 40 automatic irrigation systems in Fort Worth, Fort Stockton and Andrews County. His results suggest that up to half the water applied to urban landscapes may be wasted. One of the main problems is that timers on many automatic irrigation systems are not set properly. If this happens, some areas receive too much water and others don't get enough. Many well-watered areas in landscapes receive nearly 4 times as much water as the least- watered zone. Automated irrigation systems need to be individually set to account for changes in infiltration and precipitation. He also notes that homeowners need be aware of how much water they are using and what it is costing them. Inserts can be sent with water bills to accomplish this. Henggeler is part of a TAEX team that has developed a training program to improve the efficiency of urban irrigation. Other team members include Doug Welsh of the TAEX Horticulture Department and Agricultural Engineering specialists Guy Fipps, Bruce Lesikar, and Rose Mary Seymour. The Landscape Irrigation Auditor (LIA) training program is a joint venture of TAEX, the Lower Colorado River Authority, and the Texas Water Development Board. The program teaches students how to evaluate and audit new and existing systems and how to determine application rates and distribution efficiencies.

  • Potential Economic Impacts of Environmental Flows for Central Texas Freshwater Mussels

Wolaver1, Cassandra E. Cook1, David L. Sunding2, Stephen F. Hamilton3, Bridget R. Scanlon1, Michael H. Young1, Xianli Xu1, Robert C. Reedy1 (1) Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX (2) Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA (3) Orfalea College of Business, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 1 Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin April 2013 Prepared for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Problem and Objective Water management issues are taking on greater importance in Texas. Population growth of 80 percent (from 25 to 46 million people) is expected in the state between 2010 and 2060. This growth will further stress water supplies that are already taxed by climate variability and drought. Agricultural losses totaled $7.6 billion during the 2011 drought. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified five freshwater unionid mussel species (Texas fatmucket, Texas pimpleback, golden orb, Texas fawnsfoot, and smooth pimpleback) and is considering them for possible inclusion on the Federal list of endangered wildlife. These mussel species are not currently listed, but if they were, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would require preservation of their aquatic habitat. Preserving habitat may necessitate the guarantee of environmental flows (EF) in certain streams and rivers, especially in Central Texas, where the highest diversity of mussels is found.
