2012 Map of Bull Run Reservoir

About this map

Echo sits at the heart of this high-desert ranching landscape in northern Elko County, where the legacy of early communication and transport is preserved through several historic locations. The map documents numerous remote mail points, including White Rock Post Office, Excelsior Post Office, and Edgemont Post Office, reflecting a time when isolated homesteads and mining camps relied on these decentralized hubs. The drainage of Bull Run feeds into the Bull Run Reservoir at the southern edge of the sheet, a vital water management feature for the region's arid environment.
