Description:
Plate 931X. Wagon Box 1959 – 1986 – 2005 Viewed north-northeast across Wagon Box draw north of Panguitch Lake. Plates 930x and 931x form a panorama, as they are taken from the same camera station, which is marked by a steel fence post. Willows appear unchanged, but the wet meadow appears more vegetated today than it was in the past. Silver sage, rubber rabbitbrush, and green rabbitbrush have decreased in the foreground. Native grasses are primarily Stipa spp. and Poa spp. Pinyon, juniper, and curlleaf mountain mahogany have increased on the distant ridges, while aspen has declined.
