Description
The #1 Gordon Fox Ranch was located on Transalpine Road and the top of Fish Hill in Lincoln. The ranch covered the largest part of the hill with two houses also located there. One house is still in existence today but the pens and other buildings are gone. The foxes were housed in these pens. Each separate pen had a box for the foxes to go in to sleep and have their young. Each ranch had an overseer (probably holding the fox) and sometimes several ranch hands depending on the size of the ranch.
