ACREAGE AND DESCRIPTION
The name “Pomotawh” came from the Navajo language meant or referred to "Great Mountain". The ranch was named this in reference to the near-by Ragged Mountain range which figures so prominently in the view corridor. County road 12 is the northern boundary of the ranch with the remaining three sides bordering private property. The main portion of Pomotawh is situated on the valley floor at approximately 7,100 feet in elevation and is generally level, the topography then changes into benches of aspen and pine overlooking the creek as it flows through the property in a westerly direction. Custom pipe fencing surrounds the improvements and pastures, the 30 acres of irrigated grass meadows have been fenced and cross-fenced into various sizes of pasture. A well planned ditch system runs through the irrigated meadows and fills one pond with a possibility of adding another quarter acre pond, the ditch ends by flowing back into the creek. This flow provides a live-water source throughout the grass meadows.
