Big Bend National Park and Yukon exploration notes
Big Bend National Park, established 1944, preserves about 708000 acres of desert wilderness along the Rio Grande. The land faced threats from overgrazing and overhunting. A 1934 National Geographic expedition explored Yukon terrain, mapping nearly 5000 square miles and identifying 19 peaks over ten thousand feet and substantial glaciers.
