White Rock 1t is about ten miles
covered with sage brush and grease
wood with willows and Cottonwood 3
along the watercourses. A peculiarity
about the streams here, especially the
Uintah, Ashley and Lake Fork, is that
they have from two to six channels
and contain many islands. The banks
are low; in fact, in looking at them
from distance one gets the impress
sion that the creek beds are higher
than the land on either side of them.
''Hemmed in by ranges of hills, or
ben ches. with fat tops, capable of pro-
ducing good crops, they are reputed to
be the best agricultural lands in the
