1971 Map of Dinner Station

About this map

Dinner Station sits at the western edge of the Adobe Range, serving as a focal point for this high-desert ranching landscape in northern Nevada. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Sixteenmile Creek, Dorsey Creek, and Willow Creek, which flow through the basins and canyons. The presence of a Corral, several Water Tanks, and a series of Borrow Pits highlights the area's utility for livestock and local infrastructure maintenance. Central to the drainage system is the Dorsey Reservoir, positioned below Dorsey Basin to capture runoff. A complex web of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the hills, connecting remote springs and family-named landmarks like the East Branch Sherman Creek. This 1971 field-checked survey preserves the layout of these upland grazing lands before modern changes, documenting the location of established wells and springs critical to the region's ranching operations.
