1970 Map of Beaver Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Red House Ranch anchors the southeastern corner of this high-desert landscape in northern Elko County, where the drainage of Maggie Creek meets Red House Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal Springs and steep canyons, including Toro Canyon and Barber Canyon, which feed into Beaver Creek. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals an area primarily utilized for open-range ranching, with large open expanses like South Field and Taylor Field situated between the mountain ridges. Human activity is largely confined to primitive Jeep Trails that traverse the divides between Haskell Creek and North Haskell Creek, reflecting the isolation of this ranching and mining country. A lone Prospect near the northern boundary suggests the mineral exploration typical of the region's development during this era.
