Harney County Oregon, Range Seeding Projects

Hamilton Field seeding is an area of slight relief, varying from 4150 to 4250 feet in elevation. The area is bound on the north by the East Square Butte seeding and on the south by Diamond Craters; a steep unnamed butte borders the area on the southeast. The Hamilton Field seeding covers 1,360 acres or 544 hectares. As with East Square Butte seeding, the nearest dependable water source is the Donner und Blitzen River about eight kilometers to the west. The dominant vegetation is sagebrush. The seeding was surveyed by Loring, Toussaint, Kilmax and Parker on August 28, 29 and 30, 1980. No cultural resources were noted in the area.
