About this map

South Fork Valley anchors the southern portion of this Elko County landscape, where modern residential development meets the high desert floor. Street grids around Country Club Pkwy and Spring Creek Pkwy reflect the suburban expansion of the 21st century, organized along thoroughfares like Lower Lamoille Rd. This residential growth is bounded by traditional ranching and water features, including the eponymous Boyd Reservoir and the more seasonal Dry Lake.

Water management is central to the topography here, with smaller basins like Sandhill Reservoir and natural flows such as Rabbit Cr and Little Rabbit Cr defining the drainage patterns. Geographic markers like Hog Tommy Hill and its associated Hog Tommy Spring provide local reference points for those tracing historical land use or property boundaries in this transition between the mountains and the valley floor.
