The valley is pure upper Sonoran with sagebrush, various forms of Bigelovia, Kunzia, Cactus and very little scattered grass, lots of sage sparrows & Perodipus & sage chipmunks. Along the creek are scattered Populus angustifolia willows, rose bushes, chokecherry & Ribes aureum, but only in a very narrow line. The lava fields are not very rough and much of the country is covered with good soil while some is very sandy. Only a few fields are irrigated from the creek and these carelessly & wastefully and most of the water goes to waste. Alfalfa & grain hay & some wheat and oats are raised. Sheep are grazed over part of the lava beds and a few horses are seen running at large, but there is very little grass & no water except in the creek. There seems no possibility of ever reclaiming this part of the desert, tho probably half of the area is good soil.
Transcription Notes:
tridinlata = tridentata?
