This was a heavily grazed area during the 1940s and early 1950s. Improved management including mesquite control, salt location and change in season of use, has resulted in a change from buffalo grass and many low order short grasses to an overstory—principally of silver bluestem gradually taking its place. Photograph taken during the annual Soil Conservation Service [SCS] cooperative grazing use check. OK-1583-11.
