2s <br />• line between Sec. 33 and 34, was not surveyed due to the extreme <br />slope and vegetative cover. While only gently sloping, the meadow in <br />the central part of this area is well watered and, at the time of sur- <br />vey, was used as a hay field. The resulting ground cover precluded <br />examination. Almost all of the relatively flat ground in Tract 6 was <br />surveyed with the exception of the bottom land along P1iddle Creek, which <br />was in crops. The remainder of Tract 6 had excessive slope and dense <br />vegetation. <br />Tract 7 <br />Environment <br />Tract 7 (Fig. 2) consists of two separate areas. The eastern sec- <br />tion parallels a long north-trending ridge line which separates the <br />tract area from Grassy Creek, running roughly one-half mile to the east. <br />Most of this section lies in an ephemeral drainage which has a low <br />ridge on the west side. The general slope is toward the north, with <br />minor east and west components perpendicular to the drainage axis. The <br />southwest corner of this section is much steeper, as it includes a high <br />northwest-trending ridge with steep, rugged terrain behind it to the west. <br />The western section of the tract is located a short distance away <br />on the northern end of a small mountain mass which comprises the steep <br />portion of the eastern section mentioned above. Scotchmans Gulch and <br />an unnamed drainage cut through the west side of this area, producing a <br />series of steep-sided interfluvial ridges. There is little exposure of <br />• the bedrock in this area. However, substantial sandstone outcroppings <br />` are visible to the south where Grassy Creek exits into Grassy Gap~l mi, <br />south of Tract 1. <br />
