1985 Map of Cedar Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Cedar Ridge dominates this high-altitude interior landscape of Elko County, providing a stark topographical spine that dictates the placement of isolated water sources and ranching infrastructure. During the mid-1980s, the area remained defined by its ranching heritage, centered on locations like the Old Porter Ranch situated near the banks of Little Porter Creek. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident through the distribution of scattered Springs and man-made improvements such as Sleeman Well and the Hansel Windmill. Further north, Crane Springs Canyon cuts through the terrain, leading toward Crane Springs. The map documents a sparsely populated but active working landscape where geographic features like Corral Springs were vital landmarks for navigation and land use.
