General Land Office (GLO) study area is 6-square miles, including a minimum one-mile radius from the long-term Shoestring Valley BLM study plot boundaries. Legal descriptions for the six square mile "sections" are: Tsp. 31 S., Rng. 5 W., Sec. 6 and 7; and Tsp. 31 S., Rng. 6 W., Sec. 1, 2, 11, and 12.
This area was first surveyed between1854 and1882, using the same basic set of federal instructions; the notes were later typed, beginning perhaps in the 1930s or 1950s, and continuing until 1971, at least (see: 8018); these pages were annotated in early 2007 by the report author.
