Homer Wilson Ranch included a line camp in Blue Creek Canyon that was abandoned in 1945. Its foreman's house was built from native materials, including a reed ceiling from the river, timbers from the mountains, and large stones from Blue Creek Canyon. Nearby ruins of a bunkhouse, a circular corral, and a dipping vat for sheep and goats recall the era of frontier ranching. Homer Wilson's 4,000 sheep and 2,500 goats escaped the summer heat and found abundant grassland on the slopes up-canyon.
