1973 Map of Corral Lake

About this map

Corral Lake Butte dominates this high-elevation landscape of Elko County, photographed in 1972 and field-checked just before publication. This area is defined by its water management and livestock infrastructure, featuring the Corral Lake Reservoir and a nearby Water Tank connected by a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail. The drainage of Wolf Creek flows across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a vital source in an otherwise arid basin. A unique mapping detail includes fine red dashed lines that indicate selected fence lines, a feature often omitted in more urban surveys, which here provides a record of land use and rangeland boundaries in this corner of Nevada during the 1970s.
