General Topographic Setting: The project area is located at the southern end of Twentymile <br />Park with the Williams Fork Mountains situated to the west. The town of Oak Creek is 10 miles <br />southeast of the protect area via CR27 and CR37. Pinnacle Peak is found about a mile to the <br />southeast and Fish Creek Canyon two miles to the south. Numerous intermittent drainages <br />empty into Fish Creek, a northerly flowing tributary to Trout Creek which is a tributary of the <br />Yampa River. <br />Current Land Use: Livestock grazing and limited hunting. <br />19. Flora: Three holes (TWC010. 011, 012) are covered with natural vegetation consisting of <br />sagebrush, grasses and forbs with pockets of scrub oak to the south; TWC008 is a thick riparian <br />area of grasses and forbs found in the Fish Creek flood plain; half of TWC009 is CRP with the <br />other half native sagebrush and grasses. The waterline /powerline segment is within a wide <br />shallow drainage covered with native vegetation consisting of thick grasses, forbs and occasional <br />sagebrush. <br />20. Soils /Geology: Surface sediments are predominantly alluvial in nature and consist of a dark <br />brown clayey loam with few gravels and cobbles. Subsurface geology is composed of <br />sandstone, shale and maior coal beds of the Williams Fork Formation which are sedimentary and <br />igneous rocks from the Early Tertiary and Late Cretaceous Age (Tweto 1979). <br />
