Davis Mountains National Park Proposal Advocated
The Davis Mountains region, though fenced and grazed, could host a national park with thousands of acres available for purchase at nominal cost. Private resort plans exist, but the government should act to protect the valley’s natural beauty before exploitation. Abundant water from mountain streams could form large lakes for irrigation and recreation, while proximity to Mexico could foster international goodwill and tourism from the United States. Strong local citizenship in the Big Bend area pledges cooperation to advance the park project and meet reasonable demands.
