About this map

Daisy Creek Ranch sits at the northwestern edge of this high-desert landscape, where the terrain transitions toward Daisy Pass. The survey depicts a drainage network defined by the Fish Creek Basin and the southern reaches of the Fish Creek Mountains, illustrating how water and geography dictated the sparse settlement patterns of Lander County.

Remote and largely roadless, the area is accessible primarily via Fish Creek Rd, which skirts the northern foothills. The map documents the natural hydrology of the Great Basin, tracing the paths of Fish Creek, Daisy Creek, and Cottonwood Creek as they descend into the flats of Cottonwood Basin. This 2011 edition provides a record of land use and topographic character in a region where cattle ranching and high-altitude basins remain the primary human and geographic markers.
