Aug. 15, 1957 Chester Brown & I inspected the Pawnee Buttes area (Weld County, Colo. - #3 of Colorado's) via New Raymer along south & east sides to last good road in northeast corner below escarpment; Thence west & south through center generally; Thence north between Pawnee Buttes and out northwest corner; thence back into western middle and out southwestern parts below escarpment; The area is pleasantly scenic with the escarpment and Buttes always stand out as the dominant landmarks from nearly portion of it. Grass is generally fair to good, with few streams, few trees, scattered herds of cattle and relatively little cultivation except up on top of northwest portion of escarpment. Here one gets the impression of new maize and grass crops, probably as result of wet winter and spring. The Great Plains are green this year after several years of drought; We saw 1 golden eagle, thousands of lark bunting, numerous doves, but no antelope, ground squirrels or prairie dogs - all of which were reported in the area in 1954. This area looks very good to me as potential G.P. area but if wet years continue it probably will get beyond exploitation.
