Arizona. 346. Fredonia to Toroweep Valley May 7, 1933. Today it snowed intermittently for about 2 hours while we were driving towards Toroweep. An exceeding cold wind blew all day and snotsne( (probably snow) fell all around us. U.S.B.S. Poison signs well posted. The range all the way to the Toroweep Valley has been so overgrazed mostly by sheep, that it is almost bare. Only rush shrubs as sagebrush & chrysothamnus remains. The grass & herbs are almost entirely gone. Juniper has been browsed as high as stock could reach & all young stuff is killed outright. Erosion, little sheet & gulley, is very noticeable. An area perhaps 15 miles long shows old fire scars and the jumpers in it are mostly dead. This is about 10 miles north of the monument, toward the west half, and as near as I could tell, reaches to the north boundary of the monument. The area covered today is Public Domain & the main winter range for local stock - perhaps 60,000 head of sheep. It is utterly destitute.
