Primary Features
Established as a range exclusion in the early 1930's. Prior to this time, it was subjected to 50 years of severe overgrazing by sheep and cattle. It provides minimally distrubed examples of Sonoran desertscrub communities and is representative of thousands of acres with ongoing livestock management within Tonto Basin as well as adjacent Ranger Districts.
