1967 Map of Black Butte SW

About this map

Mala Vista Ranch and its associated Landing Area anchor the western edge of this High Desert landscape, which was field-checked by the Geological Survey in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Marys River and the braided drainage of Tabor Creek, which cuts through the basin alongside several scattered Springs. These water sources were vital for local ranching operations in this part of Elko County, providing the necessary lifeblood for livestock in a semi-arid environment. Human movement through the area is primarily represented by a rugged Jeep Trail, illustrating the remote nature of the territory. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit located near the basin floor, likely used for maintaining local ranch roads or section lines.
