The WSA contains bare, rugged badlands created by peaks and ridges broken by irregular, sharply cut drainages radiating from the central portion of the area that is dominated by Sheep Mountain. The Sheep Mountain WSA contains limited geologic and paleontological resources and is occasionally used by wild horses. The Sheep Mountain WSA and the rugged topography provide a resource base for a variety of primitive recreation opportunities such as geologic sightseeing and collecting, hunting, trapping, photography, hiking and backpackingThe network of ridges and drainages radiating from Sheep Mountain provides many isolated travel routes. The terrain is not so rugged as to significantly restrict or confine travel. The eroded badlands are highly scenic and add visual diversity.
