Farmlands History, Part One: Water, Crops
Peterson CS. 1983. Farmlands History, Part One: Water, Crops. Cultural Landscape Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
This is a historical study of water and the development of irrigation at Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site and on the crops raised there. Because the instructions emphasized water rights and how they evolved, the author devotes a large part of their attention in the pages that follow to John Lorenzo Hubbell and his times. The report examines how occupation of the site evolved from business interest to land claim and from land claim to water right and ultimately how it all became part of a Navajo irrigation project. In a more restricted sense, the report examines the farm itself with its water system, layout, crops, and transitions which have carried this study into the more recent past.
