Flint Hills
rolling, hilly, but without spectacular
topography. Grass and forbes are
dense, but recent years of drought
have killed some trees and many
branches in living trees. Erosion
is fairly common in stream head-
waters, particularly near northeast
corner. Trees include walnut, elm,
cottonwood',
hackberry, sycamore, willow and
others, are found only in stream
bottoms and are scarce in the area.
Cattle were seen in scattered
small herds, unusually fat. $20.
is usual annual pasture rental period.
Land recently sold for $70. per acre.
This was believed to be above average
price.
Hall says area has prairie chickens,
upland plover, coyote, fox, various
rodents. He would like to see bison,
elk, deer, antelope brought back.
I estimate that the land would cost
from $1 1/4 to 1 1/2 million. It would probably
have heavy visitation because of location!
He also went into northeast quarter via
Bloody Creek, a tributary of Cottonwood Creek.
