[From Wikipedia] Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway is a Texas state park located along the eastern edge of the Llano Estacado in Briscoe County, Texas, United States, approximately 100 miles (160 km) southeast of Amarillo. The state park opened in 1982 and is 15,314 acres (6,197 ha) in size, making it the third-largest state park in Texas. The area contains badlands with mesquite, cacti and junipers with tall grasses, plums, hackberries and cottonwoods in the canyons. The Park hosts the Texas state bison herd. At the urging of his wife, Charles Goodnight preserved several plains bison from those that were being slaughtered. This herd became one of the genetic sources from which current bison herds descend. The state herd only contains plains bison which have no cattle DNA. African aouodad sheep (Barbary sheep), mule deer, white-tailed deer, coyotes, opossums, raccoons, bobcats, foxes, porcupines, numerous species of snakes and lizards, and over 175 species of birds including golden eagles are found within the park. Lake Theo contains bass, catfish, and rainbow trout. In the summer of 2012 black-tailed prairie dogs were reintroduced to a 200-acre (81 ha) area within the park.

XX [From the abstract] During 1977 West Texas State University conducted archeological investigations at the proposed Bateman Pumping Station, Bateman to Truscott pipeline, and Truscott Brine Lake in Salt Source Areas VI Il and X of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wichita River Chloride Control Project in King and Knox counties , Texas. The eastward-flowing Wichita River drainage in northcentral Texas crosses a land of moderate relief developed on widely eroded Permian redbeds mantled in places with thin Quaternary deposits. The project area is in the Rolling Plains physiographic region and the Mesquite Plains biotic district. It is a seemingly inhospitable region of extreme temperatures, low rainfall, and generally saline groundwater, with mesquite and juniper the main vegetation. A total of 76 sites (67 archeological, 3 historical, and 6 paleontological) were recorded and investigated in and around the project area. No sites were found at the Bateman Pumping Station. Ten sites (9 archeological and 1 paleontological) were found along the pipeline. The 9 archeological sites were investigated by general collecting. Fifty-one sites (47 archeological, 2 historical, and 2 paleontological) were found in the Truscott Reservoir area. Of the 47 archeological sites, 36 were general-collected, 4 were control-collected, and 7 were tested. Of the 2 historical sites, 1 (a stone-walled half-dugout) was excavated and 1 (a rock fence) was merely recorded. Fifteen sites (11 archeological, 1 historical, and 3 paleontological) outside of the project area were visited. General collections were made at the 11 archeological sites.
