Monahans Sandhills State Park and Museum
Marker Title: Monahans Sandhills State Park and Museum
Address: US 80/IH-20
City: Monahans
County: Ward
Marker Location: About 6 miles E. of Monahans on US 80/I-20 at visitors
center in Sandhills State Park.
Marker Text: In these shifting seas of sand, rich in stone evidences
of primitive men, today's visitors find flint points, sandstone metates
and manos of peoples who were here as early as 10,000 years ago and
late as the 1870s. Bones of great mammoths and gigantic bison prove
that this desert was in post-glacial times a land of lakes and tall
grasses. Cabeza de Vaca in 1535 and Antonio de Espejo in 1583 encountered
Jumanos, historic tribe which hunted here. In 1590 Castano de Sosa
found a tribe he called Vaqueros because they lived by hunting cows
(buffalo)--the tribe later called Apaches. For more than 100 years
at this stop on great Comanche War Trail extending into Mexico. Apache
fought Comanche for pools of water and acorns of dwarf Shinnery oak.
The California or Emigrant Trail through the Sand Hills started with
the gold rush. Was first mapped in September 1849 by Capt. Randolph
B. Marcy, U. S. topographical engineers, and in 1854 by Capt. John
Pope, who explored a railroad route toward the Pacific Ocean. 3,000
acres of Sand Hills were designated in 1957 as a state park, after
acquisition and construction of museum by Ward County. Has picnic
facilities.
