brettaugust, I lived two blocks from there, on 180th Street, in my teens. Brings me back gloomy memories of cold winters. Greetings from South Florida, guarina
This is not Keystone Spring. The topo maps show the spring in this area to be named: 'Mexican Spring'. At this spring there are the remains of a small stone habitation and a rough concrete box in the ground to collect water. Keystone spring is at the head of Keystone Canyon a few miles to the East from here.
As someone that is intimately familiar with this area, your picture is of west desert Utah on a dry year. As for your disinformation about using BLM ground to graze: (1) when it is this dry, the BLM greatly limits the amount of cattle animal-units-monthly (AUM's); (2) for similar quality terrain, the BLM charges more than any private land owner; and, (3) the only way any cattle can graze for free on BLM land is if the rancher already owns the grazing rights (real property, same as mineral rights and water rights) or if the cattle are wild and nobody claims them--everybody else pays to graze their cattle.
