This map presents the Altar Valley as a patchwork of ecological sites, the basic mapping unit used for rangeland inventory. Each ecological site represents a unique type of rangeland that has the potential to support a certain plant community. Ecological sites are defined by their soil type, climatic factors, native vegetation and physiographic features.
