It contains the 180,000 acre (728 km²) Carrizo Plain National Monument, and it is the largest single native grassland remaining in California.The plain extends northwest from the town of Maricopa, following the San Andreas Fault.For food, they pile seeds from native grasses in circles outside their burrows, which provide shelter for the endangered San Joaquin antelope squirrel and blunt-nosed lizards.
