1986 Map of Caudle Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Humboldt National Forest covers the southern expanse of this high-altitude landscape, where the Idaho-Nevada border meets the divide between Owyhee and Elko counties. This 1980s provisional survey documents a transition from the drainage systems of Caudle Creek and Sheep Creek into the arid northern territory of the Inside Desert. The presence of the Pole Creek Ranger Sta and various water sources like Coyote Spring and Black Spring highlight the infrastructure required for managing this remote rangeland. A complex network of drainage basins is visible, with Cherry Creek and Hays Canyon Creek carving deep paths through the terrain. The map provides clear evidence of the livestock-driven economy of the era, marked by numerous small springs and the junction of significant backcountry trails and forest boundaries.
