Township 3 South, Range 14 East. 



Topography. — ^This township comprises a mass of steep, precipitous spurs and 

 ridges rising to altitudes of 7,200 feet, which mark the northern terminations of the 

 mountains of the Boulder drainage. It is drained partly by Deer Creek, and partly 

 by East Boulder River. 



Mining. — None. 



Soil. — Gravelly loam, clayey and gumbo-like in places. 



Agricultural adaptaiitity. — None. 



Grazing capacity. — Small tracts in the western areas, chiefly deforested hillside, 

 are grassed over and furnish limited areas of pasturage. 



Drainage conditions. — The run-off at the time of the spring break-up is large, 

 but, owing to the very steep and broken character of the region, does not last long. 

 During the summer the creeks and rivulets heading in the tract are either dry or 

 carry only an insignihcant amount of water. 



Snow and rock slides. — Frequent in the central areas of the tract. 



Towns and settlffments. — None. 



Forest conditions. — The stands are very much broken and scattered owing to 

 the rocky ground and the extensive fires that have invaded the region. The
