Specific <br />acreages of land were determined by a general inspection of <br />the area with reference to 8 inch to the mile topographic maps <br />and aerial photographs. Some information was obtained from <br />field notes of appraisals I have made of several of the ranches <br />in the area. <br /> <br />I divided the land into three broad classifications. I <br />designated all Irrigated Hay, Crop and Pasture land as Class I; <br />all Dry Cropland and Reseeded Pasture as Class II; and all Native' <br />Range as Class III land. Since this study was made primarily to <br />determine the grazing resources of the project area before and <br />after construction no estimates of crop and hay production were <br />made. The carrying capacity rates used by the Bureau of.Land <br />Management were assigned to the various types of pasture and <br />native range. <br /> <br />I have summarized my analysis of the area in the following <br />brief schedules: <br /> <br />YELLOW JACKET PROJECT AREA ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Total Acres Within PerimeEr Canals: <br /> <br />Acres <br />(Deeded)---------------_________ 62,840 <br /> <br />Public Domain----------------___ 1;560 <br /> <br />Local Government--------________ 600 <br />Total acres_-__ 65,000 <br /> <br />I.:' <br />l <br /> <br />I:. <br /> <br />Land to be Irrigated by Project: <br />(White River Basin only) <br /> <br />CIass I: Presently .Irrigated------------- <br /> <br />Acres <br /> <br />Class II: Dry Crop-Reseeded Pasture------ <br /> <br />2,000 <br />8,230 <br />7,510 <br />17,740 <br /> <br />Class III: Native Range----------------- <br />Total acres--- <br /> <br />PER CENT OF PROJECT LANDS TO TOTAL AREA WITHIN PERIMETER.
