1967 Map of Hanks Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Horse Creek and Cottonwood Creek carve through this high-altitude corner of Elko County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and livestock management. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a remote ranching environment where life centered on seasonal water sources and specialized structures like the Itcaina Corral in the southern sections. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the varying elevations of the Indian Creek drainage. The presence of a simple Camp and numerous scattered Spring points suggests the vital importance of these small water features for grazing and backcountry movement in the Great Basin. This document serves as a detailed record of land use before modern developments, capturing the specific geography of northern Nevada's high desert ranges.
