This is the water tank below Barker Dam. The first attempts at cattle raising took place in the area in the early 1860s in the Mojave where stockmen grazed large numbers of cattle In the desert and along the river or wash bottoms in the winter. The high desert had reliable grazing, but with climate change that has probably changed. Cattle raising peaked during the 1920s, about when local homesteading was beginning. Grazing continued through the 1940s and may have lasted Longer. William F. Keys (1879-1969), who was an entrepreneur, miner, and rancher lived most of his life on the homestead known as the Keys-Desert Queen Ranch. He is known to have maintained a cattle herd of about 100 head in the early 1940s. There were cattle here until the 1960s. |
