Summary
In 1998, the Phoenix City Council approved the Sonoran Preserve Master Plan, building on the City’s history of setting aside lands for recreation, environmental education, and preservation of native habitats (Burke and Ewan 1999), The plan defines a vision for a Sonoran desert preserve to protect additional open space in north Phoenix.
Much of the land within the Phoenix Sonoran Desert Preserve planning area is Arizona State Trust land. The Arizona Preserve Initiative (API), signed into law in 1996, defines a process for leasing or buying State Trust land for conservation purposes. In July 2000, the State Parks Board implemented a matching grant program to assist acquisition or leasing of conservation State Trust land under the terms of Proposition 303, approved by voters in 1998.
In support of the API application, the City of Phoenix is working with the Arizona State Land Department to prepare a coordination plan. In conjunction with developing that plan, the City of Phoenix Parks, Recreation and Library Department retained URS Dames & Moore to assist in developing a geographic information system (GIS) database of information about archaeological and historical resources within the preserve planning area. This report documents the goals, methods, and results of developing the Sonoran Desert Preserve Cultural Resource Database (SDPCRD), and is intended as an introductory manual for those who will use this information as development and management of the preserve continues.
