Postings on the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Southern Arizona and on the history of the CCC in general. The CCC was a federal program during the 1930s and 1940s to employ young men in conservation projects throughout the country. In Southern Arizona, they worked on soil conservation, range management, forest maintenance, and development of public parks.

Madera Canyon
A veterans' camp worked at Madera Canyon in Santa Cruz County, AZ, in 1936. They then moved to Camp SP-6-A in the Tucson Mountains in 1937. A short history of this camp, a roster (nonpofficial), and an index to the camp newspapers is posted on my website: www.wordhunting.com/ccc under the entry for Madera Canyon. I have written a more complete history, transcribed and indexed the newspapers, and have additional information on this camp. You can contact me at sharon@wordhunting.com.
