About this map

The Reese River flows through the heart of this high-desert landscape in Nye County, marking a vital water source for the Yomba Indian Reservation. This 1970s survey captures the intersection of indigenous land and federal management, showing the Yomba Sch, a local Cem, and the Reese River Ranger Station along the valley floor. The settlement pattern is sparse, defined by remote outposts like Keough Ranch and the small cluster at Corral.

Elevations rise sharply toward the Shoshone Mountains and the Toiyabe National Forest, where steep drainages like Spanish Ranch Canyon and Mitchel Canyon feed into the river system. The presence of numerous seasonal water sources, such as Y I R Spring and Mahogany Mtn Spring, illustrates the critical importance of spring-fed hydrology for ranching and survival in the Great Basin. Recreation and resource use are indicated by the Columbine Campground and a scattered Borrow Pit, while travel is limited to a network of primitive tracks and a Jeep Trail.
