About this map

Browns Bench Ranch sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, situated just south of the Idaho-Nevada state line. The terrain is defined by the broad plateau of Browns Bench, where water sources were critical for late 20th-century ranching operations. Named water features like Magpie Spring and Burnt Spring dot the drainages, indicating the vital reliance on seasonal and permanent water in this arid borderland. To the south, the elevation rises toward Grassy Mountain (Ella Dee), a prominent landmark near the headwaters of Cottonwood Creek. This 1989 provisional survey captures the distribution of remote ranching infrastructure and local landmarks across the Elko County and Twin Falls County divide during a period of established livestock grazing and land management.
