2018 Map of Ellison

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor defines this portion of the Great Basin, where complex wetland systems and sloughs intermingle with the high desert terrain. Near the settlement of Ellison, the river branches into intricate patterns including Herrin Slough and McIntyre Slough, which dominate the central valley. This environment is further shaped by the confluence of several mountain-fed waterways, most notably the Reese River entering from the south and Sheep Creek from the north. The landscape is primarily defined by its hydrology and the sparse transportation infrastructure of Frontage Rd and Mote Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern transit and a seasonally shifting river system near the border of Humboldt and Lander Counties.
