Map Satellite In this area the vegetation is a creosote bush scrub, with Larrea tridentata and burro-weed, Ambrosia dumosa, dominant. The valley is noteworthy for the comparatively dense population of the rare Mojave ground squirrel, Citellus mohavensis. Geologically, the salient features are the outcrops of Pliocene volcanics. Integrity: There has been some off-road vehicle and other recreational damage to the area but the animal population appears relatively undisturbed. Use: Research, educational, observational. Portions are private. May 1977
