	Firecracker Pueblo-The Jornada Mogollon
		The Mogollon tradition is one of the "big three" cultures in the Southwest (the others are the Anasazi and Hohokam) and is the largest in geographical extent spanning some 400 miles east-west and as much as 500 miles north-south.

		In the Hueco Bolson where Firecracker Pueblo is located, there were few opportunities for anything but runoff diversion, a method best suited for farming the alluvial fans at the base of the mountains.
