2018 Map of Battle Mountain

About this map

Battle Mountain sits at the confluence of several vital Great Basin waterways, where the Reese River and Rock Creek meet the winding Humboldt River. This 2018 survey documents the intricate network of irrigation channels essential to the local valley, including the Twenty-five Ditch, Gimble One Ditch, and Gimble Two Ditch. These man-made features weave through natural depressions like Outside Slough and Mcintyre Slough, illustrating the managed hydrology of the Nevada desert. To the northeast, the terrain rises into the foothills of the Sheep Creek Range, providing a sharp contrast to the flat basin floor where the settlement of Rennox and the Battle Mountain City Cem are situated. The grid of the town site is meticulously detailed, showing the layout of residential streets from Altenburg Ave to Lemaire Rd alongside the transit corridor of the Interstate.
