About this map

Hanks Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including S Fork Hanks Cr and Conners Cr, define the high desert topography of this northeastern Nevada territory. The landscape is marked by the presence of Union Spring Three, a critical water source in a region where hydrological patterns dictate land use and livestock movement.

Remote ranching infrastructure is anchored by the Marys Creek Ranch in the northern reaches, accessible via primitive routes like Hanks Creek Rd and the Charleston-Deeth Co Rd. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions within Elko County, illustrating how modern administrative boundaries intersect with the natural drainages that have sustained high-plateau cattle ranching for generations.
