1986 Map of Big Table

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Bruneau River carves a deep path through this high-elevation landscape on the border of Nevada and Idaho, anchoring a region defined by expansive plateaus and remote outposts. The settlement of Rowland and the nearby Rock House represent the sparse human footprint in this portion of the Humboldt National Forest during the late twentieth century. Land use is largely centered on resource extraction and livestock management, evidenced by the Bruneau Mine and a network of named springs such as Last Chance Spring and Mustang Spring. Distinctive geological features like The Big Table and Mahogany Butte dominate the topography, while the Diamond Desert stretches across the eastern reaches. The presence of a Gaging Station and several remote trails suggest the importance of water monitoring and backcountry access in this arid environment.
