• Study Area Description <br />Location. The study area is located in western Montrose County on the western edge of the town <br />of Nucla, Colorado. Major cities located in relation to Nucla are Montrose, 45 air miles east- <br />northeastand Grand Junction, 57 air miles north. The remoteness of the location is evidenced by <br />the several hours required to reach Nucla by vehicle from the above cities. <br />First Park, amesa-like landform on which the study area is located, is approximately ten miles <br />southwest of the Uncompahgre Plateau. In earlier times First Park was referred to as Tabequache <br />Park, a sagebrush and pinyon-juniper dominated landscape historically used by the Ute Indians <br />and later by ranchers running livestock on open range. <br />The study area for 1987 and 1999 includes portions of the following sections: <br />Section 6.
