[edit] History
Bonanza is an agricultural community with large areas of alfalfa, cattle, and dairy farm use. It is home to Bonanza High School,[3] and the Lost River runs near downtown where the Bonanza Big Springs are located. Low water levels have caused groundwater contamination through the springs[4] adding to the regional controversies over water use, endangered suckers (fish) and struggling salmon species, and farming.[5][6]
