  • A Proposed Low Distortion Projection for the City of Las Cruces and Dona Ana County Scott Farnham, PE, PS City Surveyor, City of Las Cruces NM October 2020
    A Proposed Low Distortion Projection for the City of Las Cruces and Dona Ana County Scott Farnham, PE, PS City Surveyor, City of Las Cruces NM October 2020 Introduction As part of the ongoing modernization of the U.S. National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) will replace our horizontal and vertical datums (NAD83 and NAVD88) with new geometric datums assigned in the North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (NATRF2022). The City of Las Cruces / Dona Ana County and the City of Albuquerque / Bernalillo County submitted proposals to NGS to incorporate Low Distortion Projections (LDP) as part of the New Mexico State Plane Coordinate Systems. Approval by NGS was obtained on June 17, 2019 for the proposed systems (see approval notice). Design of the LDP is the responsibility of the submitting agencies and must be submitted to NGS on or prior to March 31, 2021. Mark Marrujo1 with NMDOT is submitting final LDP design forms to NGS for the State of New Mexico. The City of Las Cruces (City) is designing a new Low Distortion Projection for Public Works Department, Engineering and Architecture projects to NGS criteria. To meet NGS LDP minimum size and shape criterion, the LDP area extends to Dona Ana County (County) boundary lines. This report presents design analysis and conclusions of the proposed City / County local NGS LDP system for stakeholders’ review prior to NGS final design submittal. NGS NM SPCS2022 Zones and Stakeholder Organizations NGS is designing new State Plane Coordinate Systems (SPCS2022) for New Mexico. The default SPCS2022 designs for the State are a statewide single zone and the three State Plane Zones: West, Central, and East.

    ORGAN NEEDLE PLUTON, NEW MEXICO: INCREMENTALLY EMPLACED FROM DEEP CRUSTAL SOURCES Kathleen Marie Wooton A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geological Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Drew S. Coleman Allen F. Glazner Jonathan M. Lees © 2014 Kathleen Marie Wooton ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kathleen Marie Wooton: Organ Needle Pluton, New Mexico: Incrementally Emplaced from Deep Crustal Sources (Under the direction of Drew S. Coleman) The zoned Organ Needle Pluton is associated with three silicic ignimbrites. Precise 206Pb/238U zircon TIMS ages indicate the pluton was assembled from the top downward, with the most silicic compositions having the oldest ages. The most mafic compositional phase of the pluton, a monzodiorite was emplaced during a discrete episode after the alkali feldspar granite and inequigranular syenite. The tuff of Squaw Mountain and alkali feldspar granite could not have been derived by fractional crystallization and crystal separation from the inequigranular syenite and monzodiorite. These new age relations suggest the isotopic variation within the Organ Needle Pluton initially reflects assimilation of local Precambrian quartz monzonite. As magma emplacement into the region continued, the magma system self buffered, recording a consistent, less-evolved isotopic signature of a single magma source. Furthermore, 206Pb/238U zircon crystallization ages indicate the pluton was emplaced in a younger, separate event from the magmatism that generated the ignimbrites. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................................... v LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................................

  • Of Doña Ana County
    www.nmwild.org DoñaAna by Stephen Capra When working to protect wild places in New Mexico, one need only look south to see large tracts of wild public lands that have the potential of being put into the National Wilderness Preservation a look at the wildlands of Doña Ana County System. From the Boot Heel to Otero Mesa and north to the Apache Kid and Quebradas, southern New Mexico is, in many ways, some of the wildest coun- try left in the Rocky Mountain West. But like so many other places here, it faces a myriad of threats. From oil and gas drill- ing, to off-road vehicles to urban sprawl, the threats are real. These threats make Wilderness designation essential to the long-term protection of these wild places. Despite the tough political cli- mate related to wilderness, there are indications of a bi-partisan willingness to work together to protect some key areas in Doña Ana County. Wilderness remains one of the best ideas we Americans have ever had. With the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964, public lands were, for the first time, set aside for their scenic, biologi- cal and recreational value. Protecting OJITO: an area as wilderness prevents oil and NOW IT’S FOREVER gas development, mining, logging and off-road vehicle use, but still allows for cattle grazing and horseback riding and WILD! packing.
