- Comments:
- The coordinates reported in Trost 1985 may be incorrect as that location is far south of Camas NWR and on dry agricultural fields. Coordinates entered here is for the Big Pond at Camas NWR according to the USFWS website and the Friends of Camas NWR map. No other information on location. This refuge is a complex of diverse habitats such as marshes, ponds, and sagebrush. Water delivery system is being structurally improved due to limited water from Camas Creek and groundwater wells. This area connects the Great Basin to the prairies in Canada.
