		Nelson's bighorn sheep in the San Bernardino Mountains are considered to constitute two separate populations: the larger population (San Gorgonio Herd) occurs in the vicinity of Mount San Gorgonio in wilderness; the other population (Cushenbury Herd) occurs on the northern edge of the range in desert-facing canyons (e.g., Furnace, Bousic, Arctic, and Marble Canyons).
		Finally, the population in the San Gabriel Mountains is concentrated primarily in the Bear Creek drainage; the upper East Fork of the San Gabriel River and Cattle Canyon (both in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness); San Antonio Canyon; Cucamonga Canyon; and the South and Middle Forks of Lytle Creek (Stephenson and Calcarone 1999).
		Nelson's bighorn sheep in the San Gabriel Mountains occur at elevations of 3,000-10,064 feet (914-3,068 meters [i.e., to the summit of Mount San Antonio]).
