	Sacramento Mountains Complex — NMWild
		The Sacramento Mountains are located in Otero County just to the east and southeast of Alamogordo.
		The Sacramento Mountains are truly a 'sky island' and biotic diversity is high due to the differences in elevation, slope, temperature, and precipitation.
		The southern extension of the Sacramentos provides a critical wildlife corridor, or biotic linkage, between the Sacramento Mountains to the north and the Guadalupe Mountains and greater Otero Mesa area to the south and southeast.

	Sacramento Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sacramento Mountains are on the east side of Alamogordo in Otero county of southern New Mexico.
		From this ridge the mountains slope gently down to the east, merging gradually with the plains to the west of Artesia.
		The rock strata in the Sacramentos were originally contiguous with those of the San Andres Mountains on the other side of the Tularosa Basin, and have been separated because of down-faulting of the basin.

	EPA: Federal Register: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Endangered Status for the Sacramento ...
		The Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly inhabits meadows within the mixed-conifer forest (Lower Canadian Zone) at an elevation between 2,450 and 2,750 m (8,000 and 9,000 ft) in the vicinity of the Village of Cloudcroft, Otero County, New Mexico.
		The limited geographic range of the Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly increases the threat of extinction for this species given the expected continuing loss and degradation of suitable habitat and increased risks of extinction from random events, such as catastrophic fire, irreversibly eliminating vast amounts of habitat or localities.
		The Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly is in danger of extinction, and although additional localities of the butterfly have been found since 1997, their contribution to the status of the species may be offset by the magnitude and imminence of the threats facing the species.

		Sacramento Mountain checkerspot butterflies have been observed on three of the five parcels that are currently being considered for the land transfer (Forest Service 1999a, 1999b).
		The potential adverse impacts to the Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly are not known as the proposal remains in a preliminary stage.
		Since the known populations of the Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly occur in a public campground, along public roadways, or in other areas readily accessible to the public, the species is easily collected, and the limited numbers and distribution of this species make it attractive to collectors and vulnerable to overcollection.

	Guadalupe Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Guadalupe Mountains are a mountain range located in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
		The range lies southeast of the Sacramento Mountains and east of Brokeoff Mountains, extends north-northwest and northeast from Guadalupe Peak in Texas into New Mexico, 16km (10 miles) southwest of Carlsbad.
		It is bounded on the north by Four Mile Canyon; on the east by the valley of the Pecos River; and on the west by Piñon Creek, Big Dog Canyon, Valley Canyon, Middle Dog Canyon and West Dog Canyon.

	GLACIATION
		The southern slopes of the Sacramento Mountains in Otero County, New Mexico show all the indications of having been subjected to glaciation during, at least, the Pleistocene.
		The Guadalupe Mountains, a southeastern extension of the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico, the Eagle Mountains, Davis Mountains and the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend, all in Texas, are prime areas for further investigation.
		The western edge of the Sacramento Mountains, due to southwest wind patterns and updraft-effect precipitations may well be the only area affected.

		The Sacramento River, which is primarily the area of study, is enveloped by the Sacramento and McAfee anticlines, which trend NS to the east and to the west of the river respectively.
		The Sacramento Mountains, is one of the few ranges with mean annual precipitation values, up to 30 in/yr., this can happen, thanks to considerable snowfalls during the winter, and several rainfalls in the summer.

		A scouting party was sent into the Sacramento Mountains to determine if it was feasible to extend a railroad line up to the summit and bring timbers down to the newly founded city of Alamogordo.
		The Alamogordo and Sacramento Mountain Railroad was formed to operate a line from Alamogordo up to the proposed resort of Cloudcroft, and the Alamogordo Lumber Company was established for the purpose of operating a lumber industry in the Sacramento Mountains.
		The Sacramento Mountain Lumber Company was incorporated in Arizona on August 7th, 1916, and took over the partly-dismantled mill and some of the timber holdings of the Alamogordo Lumber Company.

		The designation may have some benefit to these governments in that the areas essential to the conservation of the species would be clearly defined, and the primary constituent elements of the habitat necessary to the survival of the species would be specifically identified.
		Therefore, we are not proposing to designate critical habitat for the Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly on Tribal lands.

		The exposures in the Sacramento Mountains provide a cross-sectional view of the rocks, but it is not possible to develop a regional picture of facies relationships in a few days as may be done for the Permian basin.
		In contrast, strata in the northern Sacramento Mountains dip into the subsurface a few miles to the east of the outcrops, and they are downfaulted below the Tularosa Valley to the west.
		The northern Sacramento Mountain area was closer to sources of terrigenous clastic sediments than the Carlsbad area during the Late Paleozoic.

	EPA: Federal Register: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Withdrawal of the Proposed Rule To List the ...
		Because the known foodplants of the Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly have not been documented outside of Otero and Lincoln Counties, we do not believe that the undescribed subspecies is the same as the Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly.
		Fires in the Sacramento Mountains tend to burn in a mosaic pattern (i.e., patches of burned and unburned vegetation) and are less likely to burn in meadows compared to surrounding forests because of the types of fuel involved (Forest Service 2001, 2002c).
		In the proposed rule, we found the butterfly may also be threatened by impacts from mountain bikes, hiking, and camping because of the [[Page 76441]] development of trails, a reduction of native vegetation to barren areas, and trampling, but the potential significance of these impacts had not been quantified.
