Notes

The purpose of this description is to provide information for writing Allotment Management Plans for the Roswell BLM District. Relief varies from nearly level to gently sloping plains and mesa tops to strongly sloping and rolling hills. This subtype often produces only fair to poor vegetation for livestock forage due to the shallow droughty soils, and low rainfall. Livestock presently graze on all of the federal lands within this creosote bush subtype.
