Bigelow Cholla Bisected by Interstate Highway 40, this is the site of
one of the more outstanding stands of the jumping or ball cholla, Opuntia
bigelovii. Amidst a typical creosote
bush scrub community, large and almost pure stands of the Opuntia occur. The area lies on a gently sloping Quaternary alluvial
plain, on the west side of the Sacramento Mountains. Integrity: Save
for the highway, the area is virtually undisturbed. Use: Educational,
research, observational. July 1975
