The climate averages in the 80s in July. Average annual precipitation is about eleven inches, and is in the form of snow in the winter, and spring thunder showers.
Industries in the area consist of livestock, timber and recreational enterprises. Livestock production is the principal agricultural enterprise in the area. Camping, hunting, fishing, rock and artifact hunting, are readily available throughout the area. Presently, the land supports a somewhat dense stand of Big Sagebrush (Artemisa Tridentata) and Basin Wild Rye. Sage Grouse, Cottontail and Pygmy Rabbits, and Antelope, traverse fairly frequently and feed to a limited extent.
The soil conservation
Service advises that an irrigated alfalfa operation could
be successful in the location. It is level land currently
being used for cattle grazing.
The LADWP high voltage (750KV) DC
Pacific Intertie
(846 mile) transmission lines
traverse the property on their way from the Bonneville dam,
on the Columbia River, to Los Angeles. This world's longest distance,
highest voltage transmission line delivers 3,100 megawatts of hydroelectric
energy.
The Bureau of Land
Management is currently pumping ground water by windmill
for stock watering about half a mile to the east (Powers Well).
According to the Soil Conservation Service in Reno,
sufficient data exist concerning the hydrologic nature of
the area to warrant a high probability of success in the
production of adequate irrigation wells.
In the Capability System, the kinds of soils are grouped at three levels: the Capability Class, the Sub Class, and the Unit. The Capability Classes are designated by Roman numerals I through VIII. The numerals indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower choices for particular use. The 1974 USDA Soil Survey for the area lists most of this acreage as Capability Group IIs-41 Irrigated. This is an excellent soil classification with very little limitation. It is principally a well drained silty loam of moderate fertility, suitable for irrigated alfalfa, wheat, barley, cereal rye, and grass
pasture. According to the survey, it is well suited to seeding with an effective root depth of sixty inches.
The value of the land is in the $150 to $250 range depending on the number of acres sold/traded. If you want to get away from the congestion and smog, this is the place.
