Maple Hollow

Description:
Plate 264. MAPLE HOLLOW 1941-2000 Plate 264 is similar to Plates 261-263 except that it is viewed northwest down Maple Hollow to Fillmore, Utah. The earlier photo shows the fencelines established by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to enclose the agency’s mule deer research facility (see Plates 177 and 178). This entire area was burned by a very hot wildfire during the fall of 1942 (see Plates 177, 178, and 265-267). Judging by the present vegetation, however, it is difficult to tell the area was once swept by a raging crown fire. Oakbrush is now 15-20 ft tall, while maple is 20-30 feet in height. True mountain mahogany and sagebrush have also recovered.
