Range on Head of Reed Creek (Barley Patch) 1992
16 September 1992
"SE 1/4, SE 1/4, Section 8: T9N, R84W. One-Way Plow in Operation Reseeding Range on Head of Reed Creek (Barley Patch). Taken by James R. Webb, September 16, 1992. I have not found the same place that photo #1 [9340] was taken from, but photo #2 [9341] is not far from photo #1. The new Reed Creek road has changed the appearance of the Barley Patch. Photo #1 is heavey sagebrush, while photo #2 is mainly grass with little sagebrush. Willows are lacking in photo #2, but, there are several young willow patches in the park." Compare to photo 9340. Description of image: a grassy field surrounded by pine trees and aspens (willows?). Cows at edge of field. From Routt National Forest Repeat Photos collection, full page scans available.
