Greene LW. 1983. Historic resource study: a history of land use in Joshua Tree National Monument. Historic Resource Study. NPS 2132. United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Denver Service Center. Denver, Colorado
Although the focus of this report is on identification and description of the cultural resources and human history of Joshua Tree National Monument, much of that also concerns land use and effects on natural resources of the area. Ranching, cattle raising, and mining were the chief productive activities, each affecting the land. Eighteen maps show specific mining districts, historical water sources, roads and trails, and more. The numerous photographs (157 black-and-white historical photos) illustrate places, people, and events of the monument's past.
