 Brushy
Basin (8,100 ac) was the site of a chaparral management project initiated
by the Tonto National forest on the west slope of Mazatal Divide, 2 miles
northwest of Four Peaks. The objective was to demonstrate how fire and
herbicides could be used to control chaparral shrubs and improve forage
resources (Courtney
and Baldwin 1964).
