  Hueco Tanks State Historical Park is home to thousands of Native American paintings and drawings.Ancient works of rock art dating back thousands of years lie within caves hidden in the hills.The paintings at Hueco Tanks have lasted for centuries.

  The walls tell stories of many people and many times for at least 10, 000 years.Several different groups of people have traveled through and lived in the area.These groups often left their mark with rock paintings and drawings.Scientists have studied these ancient works of art to learn more about the people who made them.Scientists believe that around 6, 000 BC a group now known as the Desert Archaic people occupied(占有)the area.The earliest of their drawings are simple wavy and straight lines.Later drawings show scenes of people holding spears(矛)while deer and other animals run around them.

  Around 1, 000 AD the Mogollon people lived in the area.The Mogollon were farmers.More than most farmers, the Mogollon valued water.For them water held great meaning.This group of farmers painted many pictures of water flowing over the land and rain with lightning.

  The Mescalero Apaches created some of the most recent rock art at Hueco Tanks.They stayed in the area for a short time around 1, 600 AD.Spanish explorers had arrived in North America by this time.Many of the cave paintings from this period show Spanish soldiers on horses.

  In 1849 the California Gold Rush was well under way.Some people traveled through hot, dry West Texas as they made their way to California’s goldfields.Hueco Tanks provided water and shade(陰涼處)for these travelers.Many of these travelers put their names and dates on the rocks at Hueco Tanks.These writings are still found on the rocks today.

  In May 1970 Hueco Tanks was made a state park, giving the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department control of the area.
