Littlefield-Hurricane Valley NRCD
Conserving 1,995,702 acres of Arizona
The Littlefield-Hurricane Valley NRCD was organized on November 28, 1949. Its boundaries include the area south of the Utah/Arizona State line and west of the Hurricane Cliffs to the Colorado River and east to the Arizona/Nevada border all in Mohave County. The Littlefield-Hurricane Valley District is primarily federally owned land.
The land varies tremendously from the Mojave Desert plant communities to the Colorado Plateau which includes the salt desert shrub, the sagebrush grasslands, the pinion and juniper zone, and finally the ponderosa pine community in the higher elevations.
Ranching is the primary form of agriculture in the area and has been a way of life for generations. Recreation activities including hunting, sightseeing, and off-road travel are also major uses in the area.
The area relies almost entirely on rainfall for water. Providing reliable water sources for livestock and wildlife is difficult. Ponds, water catchment systems, watering facilities, spring developments, pond sealing and lining, pumping plants, and pipelines are all management practices that producers in the area implement to improve working lands.
Grassland restoration is also a key resource concern for the District. Salt cedar and sagebrush encroachment means grasses are choked out and cannot grow. Therefore, the removal of both is beneficial and necessary for resource conservation efforts in the area.
Resource Concerns:
Inadequate Livestock Water
Soil Erosion
Plant Productivity
Water Quality
Noxious Weeds
Conservation Practices:
Fencing
Grazing Management
Water Distribution for Livestock and Wildlife
Brush Management
