2012 Map of Ellison

About this map

The meandering Humboldt River dominates this Nevada landscape, creating a complex network of waterways including Herrin Slough and McIntyre Slough. This 2012 survey captures the pastoral and riparian character of Humboldt County, where the convergence of the Reese River and several creeks supports established agricultural operations. Named locations such as Ellison, the D-L Ranch, and the 25 Ranch highlight the settlement patterns of this high-desert region. The intricate oxbows and seasonal drainage of Sheep Creek and Trout Creek illustrate the historical importance of water management for ranching in the Great Basin. Access to these remote homesteads is maintained via routes like Mote Rd, which skirts the edge of the river valley.
