Description:
Plate 248X. Upper Kanab Creek 1964 - 2003 Viewed west up Kanab Creek on the Pausaugunt Plateau. The area was contour-trenched and reseeded with smooth brome in 1962 to control soil erosion. Rubber rabbitbrush has now invaded the planting. Pinyon, juniper, spruce, and ponderosa pine have all increased on the distant hillside. The shrubs above the new road in the retake are mostly mountain big sage. Pictured in the original image is District Ranger Burce Hronek.
