Urie Creek

Description:
Plate 1305X. Urie Creek 1941 – 2006 Viewed northeast across the head of Urie Creek on Cedar Mountain. Black Mountain (10,400 ft) is on the right, while Brian Head (11,307 ft) is on the more distant skyline to the left. Letterman needlegrass appears to have increased, while erosional gullies above the stream appear more vegetated. Aspen in the distance has not successfully regenerated in many years due to excessive ungulate herbivory (Ohms 2003). This private rangeland is grazed yearly by domestic sheep.
