Administration
Tumacacori National Monument, containing 10 acres, was established in 1908. The monument, which is no longer connected with any religious order, is administered by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
The National Park System, of which this area is a unit, is dedicated to conserving the scenic, scientific, and historic heritage of the United States for the benefit and inspiration of its people.
A superintendent, whose address is Tumacacori, Ariz. 85640, is in immediate charge of the monument.
America’s Natural Resources
Created in 1849, the Department of the Interior—America’s Department of Natural Resources—is concerned with the management, conservation, and development of the Nation’s water, wildlife, mineral, forest, and park and recreational resources. It also has major responsibilities for Indian and Territorial affairs.
As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department works to assure that nonrenewable resources are developed and used wisely, that park and recreational resources are conserved for the future, and that renewable resources make their full contribution to the progress, prosperity, and security of the United States—now and in the future.
