rebuilt in situ along most of the valley, but one lengthy original section was 

 bypassed and remains, mostly on the Randall Ranch. The grade follows Olema 

 Creek north to near the lime kilns, where it joins the current highway. This 

 section is mostly overgrown and has been damaged by a slide near the old 

 Bolema Club Road crossing. 



c. Fences, gates, corrals 



With only a few exceptions, the original boundaries of the ranch have not 

 changed since 1857 on the west side. Some older fencing is found but the 

 interior patterns have been changed over the years; overall the integrity of the 

 fencing system is poor. 



d. Trees 



Two old eucalyptus trees, located on the highway opposite the northwest 

 corner of the house, mark the Randall Ranch site. The Seaver dairy site south 

 of Hagmaier Ranch is marked by a grove of eucalyptus and cypress trees, which 

 also line the highway at this point and surround the ranch site. These trees 

 appear to be well over 100 years old; buildings have been gone from the site for 

 more than 50 years. 



A large eucalyptus and a large Douglas fir mark the site of the old 

 graveyard north of the ranch site. The graves and markers were moved by 

 1907 to other cemeteries, but the trees are significant as part of the landscape 

 marking the site. 



Overall, tree growth on the ranch is expanding rapidly from its circa 1900 

 condition, reportedly due to overgrazing by sheep in the 1930s and lack of 

 adequate grazing which keeps the remaining native grassland clear. Young fir 

 trees and brush are filling in the pasture on the slopes of the ranch, creating 

 what will eventually become a forest rather than a historic ranching landscape. 

 Early photographs show practically no trees on the slopes except in the gulches. 

 Evidence from aerial photographs show that much of the encroaching growth 

 has occurred in the last 40 years. As a natural process, however, it is debatable 

 whether any action should be taken to protect the historic grasslands.
