Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks in New Mexico
The New Mexico section has developed a color brochure to celebrate the historic achievements of Civil Engineering and its impact on the state. In order to create the brochure, relevant historical information has been compiled for each of the six national historic landmarks that are part of the land of enchantment. Fortuitously, these landmarks span the breadth of our profession and represent all the diverse fields of civil engineering. New Mexico is a diverse state in many respects. This diversity manifests in both its geography and its civil engineering feats. New Mexico is located both politically and geologically between extremes. In one case it's a buffer between the U.S. and Mexico. In the other case, the Rocky Mountains and the Chihuahuan Desert cover its formation. As a result, adapting civil engineering methods is required to meet the diverse needs of these two regions. These ventures range from the political concerns of transportation to farming to hydrology to mining. The challenge of building in New Mexico is to accomplish effective transitions between the geological and political boundaries. These projects represent not only a perspective on the advances of civil engineering, but also a link with the past that defines a segment of American history.
