1967 Map of Hanks Creek NE

About this map

Hanks Creek and its southern tributaries dominate this high-desert terrain in northeastern Nevada during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the South Fork Hanks Creek and Conners Creek, which flow through the undulating topography. Water sources are scarce, marked primarily by isolated Spring labels that indicate vital points in an otherwise arid environment. Human presence is minimal, represented largely by a single Jeep Trail winding through the northern portion of the quadrangle. This 1967 survey provides a clear view of the undeveloped ranching and grazing lands of Elko County before significant modern infrastructure altered the area, preserving the original drainage patterns and cattle-country access routes used during this era.
