Synopsis
Drawing a connection between the growth of the Western livestock industry and the exploitation of natural resources in the vast lands of the Intermountain Region, this book examines the historical interdependence of landownership, seasonal sheep migration patterns, and the resulting environmental consequences that have shaped the region's present-day landscapes. Offering a detailed analysis of permit and license records from the Forest Service, Grazing Service, and Indian Affairs, the author presents statistical evidence that illuminates the role of sheep migration in balancing seasonal range use for ranchers, while also uncovering the ways in which this practice has contributed to the degradation of the region's rangelands. This examination of the historical relationship between sheep migration and land use in the Intermountain Region exposes the challenges faced by range-sheep operators in adapting to fluctuating climatic and topographical conditions, environmental degradation, and institutional constraints, ultimately shedding light on the complex interplay between human activity and the ecological health of the region.
