Early Settlement~~ "European settlement has existed in New Mexico about as long as anywhere in the U.S. But even after centuries of such settlement and use, wildlands endure to a surprising extent in New Mexico. They've remained wild, in part, because they are remote and rugged. But, probably most significantly, they remain wild because they offered little of conventional economic value to the extractive industries that have transformed the face of much of the West."
