age - 1933 67 French Gulch, Piute Mts., Oct. 22, 1933. 3 traps around a cabin in an open meadows, And I also caught another gopher just before the sun went down. French Meadows, or Gulch, as it is called on the maps, are, or more properly, is, a meadow at with an elevation of about 6700 feet set down in the bottom of a canyon. The ridge to the west reaches a peak of 8300 feet; the ridge to the east reaches an elevation of about 7500 feet. The zone is typical Trans- itin. The mountain sides are covered with yellow pine, black oak formation, and with a manzanita, sage association underneath. The slopes are all rocky, granite chiefly, but with a zone of metamorphics cutting in on the higher, east western side. The meadow is open grassland, with three small willow lined creeks flowing south through it, and each originating in springs near the southern end. The upper canyon drainage enters the meadow above, dry now, but merging with the spring creeks near the middle of the meadow. The meadow grass is about 18 inches tall
