High-altitude ranching and mining operations define this mid-1930s landscape in Elko County, where the Bruneau River and the Owyhee River originate. The map reveals a remote pastoral economy through numerous family-named landmarks such as the Guerrricabita Ranch, Goicoechea Ranch, and a significant concentration of property belonging to the Prunty family. Educational needs for these isolated outposts were met by small facilities like the Bryan Sch and Penrod Sch.
