McClellan Creek National Grassland

McClellan Creek National Grassland

McClellan Creek National Grassland is a National Grassland located in southern Gray County, Texas, USA. It was purchased with the goal of restoring badly eroded land to its natural state. It is now administered under Cibola National Forest. In February 2006, all of McClellan Creek National Grassland was burned down in a 750,000 acre (3,000 km²) fire. The majority of the trees were lost. The grassland's area is only 1,449 acres (2.26 sq mi, or 5.86 km²).[1] The grassland is administered by the Forest Service together with the Cibola National Forest and the Black Kettle, Kiowa, and Rita Blanca National Grasslands, from common headquarters located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There are local ranger district offices located in Cheyenne, Oklahoma.
