System Narrative Template:

The setting is in the Sacramento Mountains with both mountain slopes and
valley bottoms. The bottoms and lower side slopes are loamy soils. Upper
slopes are shallow or very shallow to limestone bedrock. Sites are
predominately mixed conifer with a small percentage of Juniper and
Pinion.

System Narrative Template:

The setting consists of mountains, valleys, and high plateaus. Elevation
ranges from 7600 to 11400 feet. Topography ranges from very steep in the
mountains to gently sloping in the valleys. Average annual precipitation
ranges from 17 to 25 inches and average annual temperature ranges from
40 below zero to 90 degrees F. Soils vary from shallow to deep. The
potential natural vegetation varies from spruce-fir tree stands to
juniper, oaks, and pines with the under story community consisting
mainly of prairie junegrass, AZ fescue, drop seed, bluegrass and muhly
species. These are primarily cow-calf operations with forest allotments.
Income may be supplemented by hunting fees and the harvest of wood
products.

System Narrative Template:

The setting is hills and mountains with scattered to heavily timbered
slopes 3 - 60%. Soils are mainly sandy loams gravely cobble stony loams,
with poor to fair range condition. (Stable to slightly upward trend.)
Precipitation is 14 to 20 inches annually. These are primarily cattle
ranches with supplemental income from firewood timber sales and/or elk
hunting. Ranches are patchwork land status with; BLM, State, private,
and USFS.
