Its limits
are:
To the East: Route 201 which goes through the towns of Rodeo, Tudcum, Pismanta and the
Jachal river.
To the West: Coconta Mountains
To the South: Gañizul Farm
To the North: Colaguil Creek and Jachal River
Within
the field it self, there are two roads:
- One that goes to Remo creek
and it is 30 Km long approximately
- The other one goes from Tudcum
to the Republic of Chile (to a place known as La Hedionda); going through Priest Valley.
This one is about 60Km long.
The
most important highways near by are:
Route 201, which runs parallel to the fields East side.
Route 150, which runs from The Flowers to Black Waters, 10 Km from the Chilean boarder.
The fields
counts with important water channels with a rate of flow of about 6 m3/sec. Most of them
start and end within the field so the uses of the water do not require any special permit.
A field of
its size, its type of weather and its geographical location, is undoubtedly perfect for
cattle farming.
To ration the
exploitation, special areas for hay farming can be utilize which will make a complete
cattle production cycle possible.
An estimated
4,000 to 5,000 heads of cattle can be sustained with its natural resources.
Taking into
consideration the fields surface with access to water, it is very much suitable for
agriculture. With little inversion, about 3,000 hectares can be setup with an irrigation
system. About 1,000 hectares of intensive and fine cultivations can produce equivalent or
even superior profits to that of cattle farming.
From a
mineralogy point of view, the area counts with important iron, copper and in less
proportion, wolfram that has a high strategic value.
STUDIES DONE
There are certified water studies.
