2012 Map of Elevenmile Well

About this map

Hot Springs Ranch and Lower Clover Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in Elko County, reflecting the enduring presence of cattle ranching in the Great Basin. This 2012 survey shows the sparse water resources and intricate road networks vital for remote agricultural operations. The northern reach is defined by the winding course of Jake Creek, while Evans Creek cuts across the center, eventually passing near the established ranch headquarters. In the southern sector, the eponymous Elevenmile Well serves as a critical waypoint, illustrating the reliance on groundwater for livestock in this arid interior. The map documents a terrain where the intersection of natural drainage and human habitation is dictated by these limited water sources.
