Junipers forming quite an extensive forest, but with Larrea covering the hot slopes of the ridges.
This is really an area of the Pinyon Hills lying some 15 miles to the west of us & running from the Guadalupes nearly to the Davis Mts. as a low range of rough, rounded hills, scattered over with juniper and nut pine part of the way & apparently carrying Upper Sonoran zone south to the low gap where the R.R. goes through at San Martin & Kent. 

We passed one ranch 9 miles from Toyah & another 18 miles but saw no other places of human habitation. There are lots of cattle all along. But for the gypsum & bad water this would be an excellent stock country.
