• C. Land Use <br />Land use in the Scullion Gulch drainage is the same as on Red <br />Wash, However, a greater development of stock-watering ponds has <br />been undertaken in the upper reaches of the basin. Sheep and <br />wildlife are the traditional users of the range. Like Red Wash, <br />no intensive agricultural activities have been developed in the <br />drainage. <br />d. Vegetation <br />Hig sagebrush-greasewood community is the alluvium vegetative <br />type. Species found on the site are big sagebrush, shadscale, <br />rabbit brush, and greasewood (ERO Associates, 1981). <br />• e. Topography <br />The lower reaches of the Scullion Gulch drainage area are narrow <br />and deeply incised in bedrock. Steep side slopes in excess of <br />50 percent are typical. Alluvium found in the drainage bottom <br />is narrow and of limited extent. The upper reaches are broader and <br />flatter, however the alluvium is restricted to the channel areas <br />only. <br />f. Subirrigation <br />Alluvium in the Scullion Gulch drainage supports a sparse big <br />sagebrush-greasewood community indicative of limited deep sub- <br />irrigation. Water in the alluvium is available to the deep rooted <br />• vegetation on a limited and sporadic basis. <br />4/81 II.D-17 <br />
