Mining and ranching infrastructure define the mid-century economy of this high-desert territory. Extensive workings including the Alhambra Mine, Jennie Mines, and Malone Mines are tucked into the mountain folds, while family-named holdings like the Van Meter Ranch, Jim Cureton Ranch, and McCauley Ranch are connected by a network of unimproved roads and trails. Strategic water management is evident through numerous named stock tanks like China Tank and Double Tanks, essential for sustaining life between the river and the arid canyon floors.
