It is a wide, sagebrush valley here, mostly used for "dry farming" grain. The bottom lands are irrigated from the creek & there are some little side creeks and springs apparently come out of the side gulches of the Mts. 

Ranges of rather low & barren Mts. run down both sides of the valley. There are patches of aspens and strips of spruces on their cold slopes, but they have the appearance of being shaped & burnt to the last degree. Transition zone probably runs up nearly to the top on SW slopes but their cold slopes are mainly Canadian down to the base of the steep slopes.

Apples do well here & some trees are loaded. Red Astrisan & Yellow Transparent are common. Some early corn has not been frosted yet. 

The successful dry farming indicates a good snow fall & probably a late spring. Still the grains are mostly harvested.
