The Salt Fork and Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos
on the Texas High Plains Brazos River Watershed
CONSERVATION
They (dams) symbolize a further degeneration of the country; there is about them the smell of the burnt Near East where their breed began...This region raised antelope and buffalo with rich fat on their ribs once, and later its longhorns were the sturdiest that went up the trails. Now the cedar has spread its sterile shade in the flats where grass no longer grows, and though some of the upland ranches with sentient owners still show thick carpets of curly mesquite and grama and buffalo and blue-stem grasses, and some of the damaged parts can be brought back, most of the earth's surface there will never again be what it was.
