2018 Map of Hanks Creek NE

About this map

Hanks Cr and its tributaries define the drainage patterns of this high-elevation corner of Elko County, where cattle ranching and seasonal grazing continue to shape the landscape. The presence of Marys Creek Ranch in the northern reaches, alongside water sources like Union Spring Three, illustrates the ongoing importance of reliable water in the Nevada high desert. The transportation network is minimal, dominated by unpaved routes such as Hanks Creek Rd and the Charleston-Deeth Rd, which connect these remote holdings to distant regional hubs. This survey provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships, tracing the rugged topography from Conners Cr to the headwaters of South Fork Hanks Cr.
