TONOPAH, Nev. – The Tonopah Field Office has developed a Herd Management Area Plan (HMAP) and Gather Plan Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Bullfrog Herd Management Area (HMA). The Bullfrog HMA is in the northern Mojave Desert, approximately 90 miles southeast of Tonopah, Nevada, in Nye County, and is managed by the Bureau of Management (BLM) Tonopah Field Office (TFO). The town of Beatty, Nevada (pop. 596 as of 2022) lies in the center of the HMA, and United States (U.S.) Highway 95 splits the HMA into eastern and western portions.
