L.; [eds.], New Mexico Geological Society 29th Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 348 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1978 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

  • Camp Chiricahua July 13-25, 2021 © 2020
    CAMP CHIRICAHUA JULY 13-25, 2021 © 2020 Red-faced Warbler © Michael O’Brien Camp Chiricahua, co-sponsored by Black Swamp Bird Observatory (Ohio), the American Birding Association, and Leica Sport Optics, offers young naturalists between the ages of 14 and 18 the opportunity to explore the biologically rich ecosystems of Southeast Arizona, centering on the famed Chiricahua Mountains. The primary focus is on the birdlife of the Chiricahuas (pronounced Cheer-ick-ow-wahs) and other important sites in Southeast Arizona, but we will take time to observe all facets of nature and emphasize patient field observation, note taking, and learning bird sounds. The camp is set in a productive learning environment in which participants are educated on ecology, habitats, and ecosystems, and on increasing observation skills. Daily activities are based on thorough exploration of each of the distinct regions we visit. Hikes, field trips, and discussions will complement free time, during which campers will have the luxury of exploring their natural surroundings in small groups. Camp Chiricahua, Page 2 Starting in Tucson, we will first do some desert birding on the east side of town before ascending Mount Lemmon in the Catalina Mountains. Two nights of camping in the forested highlands will acquaint us with the “sky islands” so very characteristic of the borderlands of Southeast Arizona. Cave Creek Ranch © Michael O’Brien Much of our time is spent in the Chiricahuas, an 80-mile long mountain range rising out of the Chihuahuan Desert to nearly 10,000 feet, and encompassing five distinct life zones. Long famous amongst naturalists for its biological diversity and rich assortment of “Mexican” type birds that inhabit these mountains, the Chiricahuas are also a place of considerable scenic grandeur.

  • HERDS in SAN SIMON VALLEY Nhat Has Happened to the Promised Land of Arizonats Oldtime Cattlemen by Will C. Barnes Sometime Along
    C) HERDS IN SAN SIMON VALLEY Nhat Has Happened to the Promised Land of Arizonats Oldtime Cattlemen By Will C. Barnes Sometime along in the early fall of 1882, I set forth from Fort Apache, in Arizona, seeking a suitable location for a modest bunch of cattle. There was plenty of unoccupied range then in the Southwest,but being enthusiastic about the cattle business, I,wanted nothing but the :best, a "top notcher". An old Army officer who had chased Apaches from one end of Arizona to the other, advised me to look over the San Simon Valley, on the east side of the Graham Mountains. I had heard Of the Valley from stories re- lated to me, even when it Was known as Valle de Sauz, meaning "Willow Valley", because of the willow thickets along the upper reaches. So I set out in that direction, full of hope. A ten-day cruise over San Simon proved the old Army officer was an excellent judge of a stock range. My only disappointment mas that the willows were gone. The Valley mas found to be practically unoccupied, a well watered, well grazed area about sixty miles long and forty miles wide, including the longmountain slopes on each side. It contained, I reckoned, about 750,000 acres of grazing land. San Simon joined the wide valley of the Gila River near where a store had been established as early as 1872, and around which settlers had located their homes for safety from the Apaches. Their farms were irrigated by means of small brush and rock dams which turned the Gila waters onto their fields.

  • Tombstone by JOSEF and JOYCE MUENCH
    HISTORIC PANORAMAS XX Tombstone By JOSEF and JOYCE MUENCH From this early mining town in southeastern Arizona has come the rich tradition of the Old West—the wickedness, gun-play, feud between law and outlaw, stage holdups and Indian raids. Even with surface changes of electric lights and paved streets, Tombstone is history, from the Bird Cage Theater (now a museum), the Crystal Palace saloon, the newspaper Epitaph, and the world-famous Lady Banksia Rose to Boothill Cemetery at the edge of town. Most of the early buildings date from 1879 to 1882. Two years before the first date Ed Schieffelin discovered the Lucky Cuss, instead of the tombstone he had been warned was all he could expect in the area. The early 1880s witnessed the Earp-Clanton feud, climaxed by the notorious battle at the O.K. Corral. It was after this that Sheriff Slaughter ordered crooks out of town and saw to it that they went. Water in the mines, still believed to hoard riches, closed them down, but Tombstone, "the town too tough to die," is now a pleasant resort community with an incomparable cli- mate and all its glowing memories.

Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Life in the desert for the ancient Sinagua Indian farmers was undoubtedly a challenge. They grew their corn along the rugged terrain of the San Francisco Peaks. They grazed their animals in the occasional open meadow. They had to contend with both drought and torrential rain. Still they flourished and were content to live in their pithouses, dugouts partially buried in the earth in order to keep cool. All that changed, however, when nearly 1,000 years ago the ground shook and the earth rumbled, erupting into a fiery volcano that destroyed the landscape and the tiny Northern Arizona - Grand Canyon settlements that called the area home.
