The access to the project area is off of Utah State Route 14, approximately 31 miles east of Cedar City. The project is bounded by Forest Highway (FH) 050, also known as Mammoth Creek Highway, on the west, private land on the north and east, and Utah State Route 14 on the south. There are no designated wilderness areas or inventoried roadless areas (IRA) within the project area.
The project area encompasses a variety of vegetation types on the Cedar City Ranger District. Elevation within the project area varies from 7,290 feet at the lowest point near the confluence of Swains and Strawberry Creeks to 8,579 feet at the northern end of the project area near Mammoth Creek. At lower elevations the vegetation is a mosaic of scattered pinyon pine and Rocky Mountain juniper, sagebrush and mountain brush. As elevations rise from the valley bottom the vegetation transitions first to stands of pinyon-juniper woodland, then ponderosa pine forests and then finally at the highest elevations and some north facing slopes to mixed conifer.
