1980 Map of Chimney Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Chimney Reservoir dominates the drainage basin of the Little Humboldt River in this 1980 survey of north-central Nevada. Formed behind the Chimney Dam, the reservoir captures the confluence of the North Fork Little Humboldt River and Chimney Creek, creating a critical water management landscape in the arid Eden Valley region. The mapping reflects a high-desert environment where water infrastructure and cattle ranching define the human footprint. Remote outposts such as North Fork Ranch and the settlement at Shadscale appear alongside traditional ranching features like a Corral and numerous Borrow Pits near the river banks. A series of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the surrounding hills, linking isolated landmarks like Fairbanks Creek and the high point at Chimney Peak.
