Description:
Plate 280. WHITE PINE CREEK PAVANT MOUNTAINS 1962-2000 Plates 279 and 280 form a panorama at the head of White Pine Creek in the Pavant Mountains. This area was contour-trenched, gully-plugged, and reseeded by the Forest Service in 1962 to control erosion. Conifers have increased. Aspen has increased in height but has not regenerated due to repeated browsing. The shrubs are snowberry, currant, big sage, and curlleaf mountain mahogany. The photopoint is on USFS Road 096. Plate 279 is viewed southwest.
