Winter pasture of Alvord allotment, Burns BLM District, eastern Oregon. The size of the Winter pasture was about 250,000 acres (nearly 400 square miles) when these photos were taken, making it one of the largest single pastures administered by the Bureau of Land Management.

The photos in this gallery are believed to have been taken in June, 1986 but may have been taken in June, 1987.

rangebiome > 13. Looking along ridge towards Steens Mountain (background). Spiney hopsage/budsage (lighter) and shadscale (darker) plant communities. Not shown: spine hopsage/budsage transitions to big sagebrush/spiney hopsage and then to big sagebrush/bluebunch wheatgrass as soil depth and elevation increase in this area. Also: there are small pockets of black sagebrush within the shadscale plant communities, generally on north facing slopes.
