<br />Elevations range from about 7,000 feet to 11,500 feet (Z,134 to 3,505 m). <br />Slopes range from about 15 to 50 percent. The average annual precipitation <br />ranges from 15 to Z5 inches (0.38 to 0.64mL. The mean sol'l temperature <br />ls about 35 to 42 degrees P. (J. 7 to 5.60 C) and the frost free season <br />ls approximately ZO to 85 days. ThIs map unit covers about 280,000 <br />acres (113,316 ha) - 437 square miles (1,132 km2). <br /> <br />This map unit is used as grazeable woodland, rangeland, recreation land, <br />wildlife habitat and in a few areas for woodland harvest. A few in- <br />cluded areas are used for irrigated hay and pasture. Native vegetation <br />is quite variable; spruce-fir. aspen and lodgepole pine dominate most of <br />the north facing exposures. ponderosa pine, oakbrush, big sagebrush <br />with grass understory are dominant on the other exposures. <br /> <br />Cold cl imate and slope are limiting to agrlcultural uses. Potential for <br />continued change in use to recreation is good even though slopes are <br />limiting to many areas. Potential for development of additional ski <br />areas is good. Potential for increased wildlife developments is also <br />good. <br /> <br />Map Unit 57 - Typic Cryoborolls, clayey--Typic Cryorthents, clayey, <br />sloping to steep. <br /> <br />This map unit constitutes 0.5 percent of the basin. The dominant soils <br />in this unit occupy benches, mountain slopes, and alluvial fans and are <br />formed in materials weathered in place from shale or sandstone. Some of <br />the smaller areas of this unit occupy alluvial fans and old, high <br />terraces and valley filled sideslopes. The soils in these areas are <br />formed in materlals locally transported from weathered sedimentary <br />rocks. <br /> <br />Elevations range from about 8,000 to 10,000 feet (z,438 to 3,048 m). <br />Slopes range from about 3 to 50 percent. The average annual precipitation <br />ranges from about 15 to ZO inches (0.38 to 0.51 m). The mean soil <br />temperature is about 40 to 45 degrees F. (4.4 to 7.20 cl and the frost <br />free season is approximately 45 to 85 days. This map unit covers about <br />22,000 acres (8,903 ha) - 34 square miles (88 kmZ). <br /> <br />This map unit is used primarily as rangeland, grazeable woodland and as <br />wildlife land. Native vegetation is mostly Gambel oak with clusters of <br />Ponderosa pine and open parks of big sagebrush, fescue, wheat,blue and <br />need 1 egrass. <br /> <br />Slopes and cold climate limit agricultural uses and potential. Low <br />strength, shrink-swell and slopes are limiting to non-agricultural uses; <br />however, selected sites have good potential for cabin and recreational <br />development. Potential for expanded wildlife habitat development, <br />particularly for deer is good. <br /> <br />Map Unit 58 - Argic Cryoborolls, loamy--Typic Cryoborolls, lo~my, gently <br />sloping to steep. <br /> <br />f'-~>~.-~ <br />, - .
