Acreage

[edit]

I deleted the area number because several online sources give either 1690 or 2501 acres. No way to tell which is correct without a survey or access to current official documentation. And, frankly, since it's a secret place, I couldn't point out its boundaries on a map, though the park service seems to have placed a point to it on theirs, but it's right on the southern edge of Coolidge, and not anywhere that 4 square miles of "inaccessible" land appears to be. 24.221.121.232 03:53, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Access

[edit]

When I spoke with the folks at the visitor center of Casa Grande National Monument they said that Hokoham Pima National Monument was buried (to preserve it) and will remain so indefinitely. I wish I had a better source for this but I think it would be nice to add to the article so anyone looking to visit it will know that that there is nothing to see, just a dirt field.

Copyedit and cleanup

[edit]

I changed the governing body to the Gila Indian Reservation, since per NPS "The Monument is located on the Gila River Indian Reservation and is under tribal ownership. The Gila River Indian Community has decided not to open the extremely sensitive area to the public. [1] --Pete Tillman (talk) 06:22, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Map pin marker

[edit]

My browser shows the location to be way off, in wrong county (too far north). It shows as being in Maricopa County when it should be in Pinal County. Backspace (talk) 04:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

infobox update needed

[edit]

NRHP infobox for the monument as a whole appears not appropriate, as this NM is not NRHP-listed, I believe (although Snaketown, within the NM, is NRHP-listed and has an NRHP infobox in the article). Please help compose a properly formatted geobox that covers the National Monument designation, includes an image, and so on. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Protected areas#Cleanup to use Geobox rather than NRHP infobox for many U.S. National Monument articles. doncram (talk) 23:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to fix the geobox -- as an interim fix, I restored the historic photo to the NHL infobox.
This is all rather academic, as the NM was created to protect Snaketown -- effectively, they are one and the same. See the name discussion in the invisible comments in the article. No public access anyway. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 01:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Snaketown

[edit]

A version of the Snaketown page was merged into this article back in 2008. In 2011, someone decided to write a more extensive treatment of Snaketown, but put it there (Snaketown) instead of here. These should be merged. Magic♪piano 17:23, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

merge I could see the potential for the national monument site to be focused on the modern-day site with the separate snaketown page being focused on the archaeology and history, but right now I think the two have sufficient overlap for them to be merged.

National Register?

[edit]

The article mentions that Snaketown was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, but this does not make sense to me. By the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, all NHLs and NPS historical units are automatically added to the NR. As it was designated an NHL in 1964, it should have been added to the NR in 1966. If for some weird reason it was not, then it would have been added in 1972, when Congress designated it a Nat'l Monument under the NPS. — Eoghanacht talk 21:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
