This area is located in the northeastern part of the state and covers approximately 40,000 acres. The region is characterized by high desert terrain and is drained by several small streams that feed into Gold Creek. The area receives its water from snowpack and surface flow, which provide irrigation for agricultural activities. The region is also popular for recreational activities like hunting, fishing, and hiking. The wild horses are a major attraction and are protected by the Bureau of Land Management, which works to maintain their habitat and preserve their natural beauty.
