It is mainly along the San Francisco River and it’s sister stream, the Gila, that the Sonoran biota penetrates southwestern New Mexico and between the two valleys an impressive representation of such plants and animals is found.
The San Francisco and other such valleys are also what might be thought of as oases for plants and animals which require permanent surface water or for the habitats that it fosters.
The San Francisco Valley seen from afar, is a narrow ribbon of verdure through the usually brown hills and plateaus of southern Catron County, but in places it has been changed by settlement and agriculture.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution officially condemning “Christian fundamentalist[s]”, in what appears to me to be a blatant violation of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Epperson v.
I guess San Francisco county government is free to express their opinion — although I would expect if the Butte, Montana city government passed a resolution praising the Southern Baptist Church, the ACLU would be looking through the precedents, looking for some way to turn this into an establishment of religion clause violation.
