Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

Photograph of Fullingim Flat in the Mount Pinchot pasture of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Eastern view from the trail. Note the boulder ridge site in the background. 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.
