57 40 South from town one comes to an outlying spur of Pine Ridge which posseses the most of the characteristics of the P.R. vegetation. in the evening of the 9th we left for Valentine . These same conditions prevail for many miles east from Chadron . There is much timber along White River here - in many places producing a dune forest composed of Populus sargentii , Ulmus americana , Celtis occidentalis , Acer negundo , Salix nigra , Fraxinus lanceolata , and Prunus melanocarpa , and P. americana . At Gordon , about 2 mi. east the new R.R. first enters the Sand Hills. Here Stipa is the controlling grass over the Sand Hills. Such hills are characteristic for the whole way to Valentine and extends for several miles north from the Railroad. July 10 - Arrived Valentine last night. In morning at 8 left Valentine for Mrs. Cook's . For 4 – 5 miles south of Valentine the land is rather level and the soil, relatively. At 4 - 5 mi. out we came to the first sand hills, which however, are rather old since they are few blowouts here, i.e. few active blowouts . There conditions prevail until the Niobrara is reached with its two types of vegetation - the hardwood and coniferous types. Crossing the river one comes at once to the abrupt sand hills with many blowouts and Yucca - Andropogon
