RECAPTURE CREEK
General Description: This northwest view of the head of Recapture Creek
is within the Manti-LaSal National Forest. This immediate area is part of the
Blanding Community Watershed and is no longer grazed by livestock. A similar
photopair appears in a 1995 Forest Service publication titled Vegetation Changes
on the Manti-LaSal National Forest.
Legal Description: SE1/4SW1/4 Section 13 T.34S., R.22E.
COMPARISON: The contour trenching and seeding project, completed after
the Thomas photograph, has stabilized the slope. Gully erosion has been
curtailed and the area continues to heal. Good varieties of introduced and
native plants have become firmly established on the slope as well as in the
draw.
