About this map

Salmon Falls Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including Shell Creek and the South Fork, dominate this high-desert landscape along the Nevada-Idaho border. The area is characterized by a mix of ranching operations and mining activity, with Browns Bench Ranch and Twin Meadows Ranch positioned near vital water sources. Mining infrastructure is concentrated in the southeast, where the Marshall Mine, several Shafts, and the Shatte Tunnels near L & D Mtn indicate a history of subsurface exploration.
