The Woods Land Use Plan has been completed and describes the management of 27,400 ha. Prominent mountains on the watershed include Fain, Lake, Jones, Bill Back Butte, Apache Maid, and Round. Stoneman Lake lies within the watershed area. One Interstate Highway, 1-17, crosses the area, linking Flagstaff and Phoenix. Approximately 7,000 vehicles per day use this highway.
Wildlife inhabiting the watershed include both resident and migratory species.
A land use plan for the Woods Planning Unit covers 27,400 ha of the area. Management units within this plan give specific direction to uses and management activities. All research and related activities within the area must not conflict with approved management plans And be authorized by the Forest Supervisor. Land management plans will be in effect for the entire area by 1985. Protection from natural fire since the early l900s has had a slow, but cumulative effect.
