1980 Map of Greeley Flat SE

About this map

The North Fork Humboldt River carves a deep path through the high desert of northern Nevada, defining the western portion of this 1980 survey. This area, straddling the Humboldt Co Elko Co line, reflects the ranching and livestock history of the Great Basin. Evidence of land use is visible in the presence of a Corral and New Reservoir, suggesting seasonal grazing and water management in an otherwise arid environment. Travel through the eastern hills is limited to a primitive Jeep Trail, which winds past Milligan Creek and an unnamed Spring. The map documents a sparsely populated landscape where geographical features and water sources dictate the movement of people and livestock across the county border.
