Description:
Plate 688X. Grass Valley 1950 – 2004 Viewed northwest across Grass Valley. The area was root-plowed and reseeded with crested wheatgrass in 1944 to improve range conditions. In the original photograph a combine was being used to collect seed for other restoration projects. Mountain big sage has begun to reinvade the seeding, while pinyon and juniper have increased on the distant hills.
