About this map

The Humboldt River and its confluence with the Reese River anchor this 2015 study of the Lander County landscape. The topography transitions from the valley floor to the rising elevations of the Sheep Creek Range in the northeast, where North Battle Mountain stands as a prominent landmark. The settlement of Battle Mountain shows a developed grid of streets such as Marvel Rd and Kayci Ave, while the surrounding terrain is heavily modified by an extensive irrigation network.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features like the Twenty Five Ditch, Lower Twenty-five Ditch, and the Gimble One Ditch. These artificial waterways, alongside natural features like McIntyre Slough and Outside Slough, illustrate the complex hydrology required to support this high desert environment. To the east, the map identifies the location of Rennox along the rail and road corridor, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure serving this Nevada crossroads.
