This topographical maps of streams flowing into Eagle Nest Lake
proved helpful in my ongoing BIOgeography research:
This “blended visual learning” courseware prototype served as our interpretation and education planning framework for our USNPS Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area (FFNHA). After meeting a key field researcher for Keith Basso’s “Wisdom Sits in Places”, I began analyzing the eco-history of watersheds having Nine-Mile Creek (USGS-GIS) place names!
I suspect it was a Frontier Military Army topographical engineering map-making convention that encoded “Traditional
Ecological Knowledge” (TEK) acquired from land navigation (indigenous nation) scouts via local fur traders aka mountain men!
Henry J. Leavenworth brought this mapping convention from the Minnesota Valley (1821) to the Kaw Valley (1827). Both William H. Emory & John C. Fremont seem to have continued this convention while supporting the Army of the West …
Co-locating “E.T.” Seton’s (Grey Wolf) Museum at Philmont Scout Ranch represents an “Affirmation of Interdependence” …
This ALL-WinWin spirit was shared with Cimarron-class “fast fleet oilers” that were commissioned 2-years
after Wade Phillips donated this natural history wildlife refuge to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in 1937.
Ernest Thompson Seton ventures out to check his baits, slabs of meat laced with poison. He follows Lobo’s tracks and discovers that Lobo has taken several of the baits. Expecting to find Lobo’s dead body, Seton continues on. At the fourth bait, however, he realizes that Lobo may be smarter than he’d thought.
USS Cimarron was the oldest US Navy ship in continuous active service (1939-1968) due to its Pass Down the Line (PDL) traditions augmented by “lessons learned” from Gospel of the Red Man written aboard RMS Queen Mary during 1936.
Was it coincidence that U.S. Congress ratified the National Historic Trails System Act a day after CIM’s decommissioning?
What other High-TEK Buffalo Spirits (Story Chaser) tales resonate with our honoring eco-history’s corridors of influence?

Early U.S. Army/USGS surveying & mapping protocols failed to feature slope & soil type as critical success factors supporting “sustainable land use” decision-making …
Cumulative unintended consequences of manifest destiny (geo-political) “decision traps” combined with influential “extractive economics” vested interests. Together, they compromised sustainable EarthSea-Keeping stewardship practices that Teddy Roosevelt championed …
