2012 Map of Boyd Reservoir

About this map

Rabbit Creek meanders through this high-desert basin in Elko County, anchoring a landscape where water management defines the human footprint. By the early 21st century, the northern reach is characterized by seasonal and artificial water bodies like Boyd Reservoir, Dry Lake, and Sandhill Reservoir. In contrast, the southern edge of the sheet shows the expanding residential street grid of Spring Creek, featuring names like Lawndale Dr and Glenvista Dr clustered near Spring Creek Reservoir. Between the suburban growth and the open range lies the Leberski Ranch, a testament to the area's agricultural roots. The presence of Hog Tommy Hill and various springs, including Hog Tommy Spring and Sandhill Spring, highlights the critical importance of natural water sources in this arid Nevada terrain. Major thoroughfares such as Lower Lamoille Rd and Boyd-Kennedy Rd provide the primary connections across these varied ranchlands.
