Guadalupe Mountains National Park, created to protect a portion of an extensive and significant fossil reef, was authorized October 15, 1966. The time has come to consider the long-term development of the Park. To accomplish this a master plan study is projected for fiscal year 1970. In order to provide the planners with adequate historical data and enable the planning process to consider the historical features of the area, this background history was proposed. This study was authorized by Resource Study Proposal (RSP) GUMO-H-1. It is designed to accomplish several things: (1) identify the historical themes relevant to the Park and its immediate vicinity and recommend the ones that ought to be interpreted and how this might be done, (2) locate and identify historic sites and structures within the Park and recommend measures for their protection, development, and interpretation.
