2012 Map of I L Ranch

About this map

I L Ranch and its private I-L Ranch Airport serve as the primary human identifiers in this isolated section of Elko County, Nevada. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the South Fork Owyhee River, which winds through the eastern portion of the survey. A network of smaller waterways, including Fourmile Creek and Amazon Creek, feed into the larger river system, reflecting the hydrologic importance of this high-desert ranching country. The presence of named drainages like Chino Creek and Red Cow Creek indicates the localized importance of water sources in an area characterized by vast open spaces and sparse infrastructure. The map reveals the layout of ranch roads and the singular nature of the settlement at the time of the 2010 imagery and 2012 publication.
