Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Land of Frozen Fires: A History of Occupation in El Malpais Country The bill provides for acres as a national conservation area managed by the Bureau of Land Management and acres as a national monument administered by the National Park Service. Legislation designates the Masau Trail, a vehicular tour route, linking El Malpais National Monument with other major sites of antiquity in New Mexico and Arizona. El Malpais National Monument's boundaries include lands south of Interstate 40 near Grants, the Sandstone Bluffs area on the east side of the malpais adjacent to Highway 117, and Highways 53 and 109 flank the western boundary. The National Conservation Area extends out and circumvents national monument lands on all sides except north. Much of the National Conservation Area has been designated Wilderness Area. 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 cultural history, to reflect human existence, interaction, and awareness and appreciation of this historically rich and beautiful land.
