2018 Map of Browns Bench Ranch

About this map

Browns Bench Ranch sits at the high northern edge of this high-desert landscape where the Salmon River Range meets the vast plateau of Browns Bench. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its water sources, with vital points like Upper Maggie Spring and Burnt Creek Spring providing life in a region where the drainage of Cottonwood Cr carves through the topography. The map illustrates a working rangeland crossed by Oneil Rd and various Blm Rd tracks, connecting the ranch to high points such as Grassy Mtn. At the southern end of the sheet, the presence of Cottonwood Field suggests a focus of agricultural or pastoral activity near the creek bed. This map captures the modern layout of these remote Idaho and Nevada borderlands, showing the persistent relationship between isolated ranching outposts and the sparse natural springs of the Great Basin.
