Water management for these operations is evident through an extensive system of irrigation works, including the Fehringer Ditch No 1 and Reinecker Ditch. Industrial history is preserved along the valley floor, where an Old Railroad Grade follows the riverbank, tracing a transportation route that once served the remote basins. From the heights of Reinecker Ridge to the low-lying Colton Sheep Camp, the map documents a transition from traditional livestock grazing to the early exploration of mineral resources, marked by an isolated Oil Well and Oil Tanks in the northern gulches.
