Mangum NC. 1990. In the land of frozen fires: A history of occupation in El Malpais Country. Southwest Cultural Resources Center Professional Papers. 32. Division of History, National Park Service. Santa Fe, New Mexico
The goal of this study is to provide background material on the region’s history, to reflect human existence, interaction, and awareness and appreciation of the historically rich and beautiful land of El Malpais Country. On December 31, 1987, Public Law 100-225 established El Malpais National Monument and El Malpais National Conservation Area in the State of New Mexico. As a new unit of the National Park Service, El Malpais National Monument is deficient in basic data necessary for planning requirements. This report will delineate the salient history of the region and identify historical themes and events associated with the monument and conservation area. The ultimate goal is to provide managers, interpreters, and resource personnel with background material on the region’s history, to reflect human existence, interaction, and awareness and appreciation of this historically rich and beautiful land.
