Darton image 884 taken in 1901. Compare with Leopold image 022. Near Navajo church, two miles northeast of Fort Wingate, New Mexico, looking north 20 degrees east. In 1946, the formerly open spaces show an encroachment by sage. Grass between sage brushes of low density, 2-10 percent, and consisted of ring muhly (mulenbergia porteri), with lesser amounta of Aristida Fendleriana, Sporobolus airoides, Hilaria jamesii. Sage in foreground obscures gullies 3-4 feet deep. Sage heavily grazed, some bushes nearly dead. Compare with Darton image 884 taken in 1901. Open spaces in 1901 covered with thin stand of blue grama grass; foothill slopes covered with sage (Artemisia tridentata) and scattered juniper trees. McKinley...

Retake of Dutton 18, Pyramid Rock (ratio 1:4.0). Bearing to Pyramid Rock, north 20 degrees east. Picture may be a little too high; Dutton's camera probably where shacks now stand in foreground. Very badly browsed Artemisia tridentata, grass very poor density, little or no forage. McKinley County, New Mexico. August 16, 1946.

Darton image 874 taken in 1901. Compare with Leopold image 025 taken in 1946. Puerco River channel at the Hogback, two miles east of Gallup, New Mexico, looking southeast. Alkali sacaton and saltbush appear in both pictures. Russian thistle appears in moderate abundance in Leopold image 024, taken in 1946. Note that the general vegetative cover looks about the same in density and volume in both pictures. Species changes, particularly increase in Russian thistle, seem to be more marked than amount of vegetation. Gully in 1901 about 6 feet deep. In 1946, gully was about 20 feet deep with more vertical walls. Note that road cut in gully side in 1901 was filled with soil material when railroad grade was moved. Old road...

Mulatto tongue of Mancos shale overlain by Dalton sandstone member of Mesaverde formation, in foreground, the top of the "Stray sandstone". View in sec. 30, T. 15 N., R. 10 W. At this locality the Mulatto is about 250 feet thick. Through the combined effects of topographic slope, dip of beds, and foreshortening, the photograph greatly exaggerates the apparent thickness of the lower, rather sandy portion of the Mulatto, which extends as far up the tree covered bench at the left, as contrasted with the partly hidden upper, less sandy portion of the Mulatto. McKinley County, New Mexico. 1930. Plate 28-A, U.S.Geological Survey Professional paper 193. 1941.
