1961 Map of Goose Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Old Emigrant Trail cuts across this high-desert landscape where Nevada, Idaho, and Utah meet, tracing a historic path of westward expansion. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Goose Creek and its many tributaries, including Trout Creek and Meadow Creek. Sparse human activity is centered on isolated outposts such as Rancho Grande, Trout Creek Ranch, and Judd Ranch, illustrating the vast distances inherent to Great Basin ranching. Significant elevation changes are marked by Judd Mtn and Cedar Mountain, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the Sawtooth National Forest. This map preserves the mid-century cattle-country infrastructure of the region, showing the network of jeep trails and springs like Nile Spr and Sand Spr that supported life in this corner of Elko County.
