Description: Perron16_140 1892 Perron map LAVA FLOW OF EL MALPAIS, NEW MEXICO, #140 Nice map titled Grande coulée de laves du Malpais, from wood engraving with fine detail and clear impression. Overall size approx. 18 x 14 cm, image size approx. 11 x 10 cm. From: Les Etats Unis, volume no. 16 of La Nouvelle Géographie universelle, la terre et les hommes, 19 volumes (1875-94), great work of Elisee Reclus. Cartographer is Charles Perron. El Malpais National Monument high-valley lava flow area, Cibola county, west-central New Mexico, U.S., about 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Grants. The area covered by black lava flow extends about 133 square miles (344 square km), although the monument itself covers 179 square miles (464 square km). The elevation of El Malpais (Spanish: “The Badlands”) ranges from about 6,400 to 8,400 feet (1,950 to 2,560 metres). Features include a 17-mile- (27-km-) long lava tube system, a number of ice caves, volcanic cinder cones, one of New Mexico's largest natural arches (La Ventana), and more than 20 gas-and-lava spatter cones. The area is also believed to have been a point of contact for the Mogollon, Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi), Patayan, and Sinagua cultures; there are many ruins in and around El Malpais. A number of ecosystems are found at El Malpais. Oneseed juniper and piñon pine are the dominant tree species. Deer and antelope and mutant black-furred field mice inhabit the area. The McCarty Lava Flow (the formation that constitutes the bulk of the monument) was designated a national natural landmark in 1969. In 1974 its designation was changed to outstanding natural area, and in 1987 it became a national monument under its present name.
