The remaining three are still in their original locations although the one west of the Edwards-Ford County line is on private property and not so easily located. The newspaper account of the sites gave a particularly interesting description of this location: In those days when the country was not so thickly settled, the mirage was not an uncommon occurrence and at these times the old fort could be plainly seen from the hill.

The era of the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas ended when the Santa Fe Railroad completed its tracks across the state in but the remainder of the old trail continued in use on to its original location until when the railroad tracks finally reached Las Vegas, New Mexico. It and most other similar westward roads made use of earlier trails found by animals who naturally looked for routes that provided food, shelter and water and that went around natural barriers.

Game animals such as deer and buffalo went in search of food, Native Americans followed the game and explorers and settlers followed them all. Today we will not necessarily find those sources of food, water and shelter that our ancestors marked along the trail. In Western Kansas for example the route closely followed the Arkansas River as an easy source of water, but now the river is dry. Large outcrops of stone and groves of trees have either been removed or have died natural deaths due to the passage of time and erosion.

For those who are interested, the markers are there, the stories can be found in books about the Trail and special tours reenacting the trips along the Trail are available. Furthermore, new stone post markers have been erected in recent years at noted points along the Santa Fe Trail. Activists created a number of resources for the arts and archaeology , notably the School of American Research , created in under the leadership of the prominent archaeologist Edgar Lee Hewett.

In the early 20th century, Santa Fe became a base for numerous writers and artists. Together the two women started the development of the Pueblo Indian pottery industry, helping native women to market their wares. They contributed to the founding of the annual Santa Fe Indian Market. In , when the town's population was approximately 5, people, the city's civic leaders designed and enacted a sophisticated city plan that incorporated elements of the contemporary City Beautiful movement, city planning, and historic preservation.

The latter was particularly influenced by similar movements in Germany. The plan anticipated limited future growth, considered the scarcity of water, and recognized the future prospects of suburban development on the outskirts.

The planners foresaw conflicts between preservationists and scientific planners and set forth the principle that historic streets and structures should be preserved and that new development must be in harmony with the city's character. After the mainline of the railroad bypassed Santa Fe, it lost population.

However, artists and writers, as well as retirees, were attracted to the cultural richness of the area, the beauty of the landscapes, and its dry climate. Local leaders began promoting the city as a tourist attraction. The city sponsored architectural restoration projects and erected new buildings according to traditional techniques and styles, thus creating the Santa Fe Style.

When Hewett tried to attract a summer program for Texas women, many artists rebelled, saying the city should not promote artificial tourism at the expense of its artistic culture. The writers and artists formed the Old Santa Fe Association and defeated the plan.

Beginning in June , the Department of Justice arrested Japanese-American men after the attack on Pearl Harbor ; they held them near Santa Fe, in a former Civilian Conservation Corps site that had been acquired and expanded for the purpose. Although there was a lack of evidence and no due process , the men were held on suspicion of fifth column activity. Security at Santa Fe was similar to a military prison, with twelve-foot barbed wire fences, guard towers equipped with searchlights, and guards carrying rifles, side arms and tear gas.

The Santa Fe site was used next to hold German and Italian nationals, who were considered enemy aliens after the outbreak of war. The camp was expanded at that time to take in 2, men segregated from the general population of Japanese American inmates. These were mostly Nisei and Kibei who had renounced their U.

The camp remained open past the end of the war; the last detainees were released in mid The facility was closed and sold as surplus soon after.

According to the United States Census Bureau , the city has a total area of The hour average temperature in the city ranges from The city usually receives 6 to 8 snowfalls a year between November and April. This year we are making a studied conscious effort not to be studied or conscious. Santa Fe is now one of the most interesting art centers in the world and you, O Dude of the East, are privileged to behold the most sophisticated group in the country gamboling freely.

And Santa Fe, making you welcome, will enjoy itself hugely watching the Dude as he gazes. Be sure as you stroll along looking for the quaint and picturesque that you are supplying your share of those very qualities to Santa Fe, the City Incongruous.

Be yourself, even if it includes synthetic cowboy clothes, motor goggles and a camera. The Spanish laid out the city according to the " Laws of the Indies ", town planning rules and ordinances which had been established in by King Philip II. The fundamental principle was that the town be laid out around a central plaza.

On its north side was the Palace of the Governors , while on the east was the church that later became the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. An important style implemented in planning the city was the radiating grid of streets centering from the central Plaza. Many were narrow and included small alley-ways, but each gradually merged into the more casual byways of the agricultural perimeter areas. As the city grew throughout the 19th century, the building styles evolved too, so that by statehood in , the eclectic nature of the buildings caused it to look like "Anywhere USA".

To achieve that goal, the city created the idea of imposing a unified building style — the Spanish Pueblo Revival look, which was based on work done restoring the Palace of the Governors. The sources for this style came from the many defining features of local architecture: After this style became official: By there was a broadening to include the "Territorial", a style of the pre-statehood period which included the addition of portales large, covered porches and white-painted window and door pediments and also sometimes terra cotta tiles on sloped roofs, but with flat roofs still dominating.

The city had become "different". However, "in the rush to pueblofy" [28] Santa Fe, the city lost a great deal of its architectural history and eclecticism. Among the architects most closely associated with this new style are T. Charles Gaastra and John Gaw Meem. By an ordinance passed in , new and rebuilt buildings, especially those in designated historic districts, must exhibit a Spanish Territorial or Pueblo style of architecture, with flat roofs and other features suggestive of the area's traditional adobe construction.

However, many contemporary houses in the city are built from lumber, concrete blocks, and other common building materials, but with stucco surfaces sometimes referred to as "faux-dobe", pronounced as one word: In a September report by Angelou Economics, it was determined that Santa Fe should focus their economic development efforts in the following seven industries: Angelou Economics recognized three economic signs that Santa Fe's economy was at risk of long term deterioration.

These signs were; a lack of business diversity which tied the city too closely to fluctuations in tourism and the government sector; the beginnings of urban sprawl, as a result of Santa Fe County growing faster than the city, meaning people will move farther outside the city to find land and lower costs for housing; and an aging population coupled with a rapidly shrinking population of individuals under 45 years old, making Santa Fe less attractive to business recruits.

The seven industries recommended by the report "represent a good mix for short-, mid-, and long-term economic cultivation. In consultation with members of community groups, who were encouraged to provide feedback, the consultants made a wide range of recommendations in the plan now published for public and city review.
