2018 Map of I L Ranch

About this map

I L Ranch serves as the focal point for this high-desert territory in Elko County, where cattle operations and aviation intersect at the I-L Ranch Airport. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the S Fork Owyhee River, which winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. High country to the south belongs to the Tuscarora Mountains, a range that influences the hydrology of local tributaries including Fourmile Cr and Red Cow Cr. This survey illustrates the spatial organization of a modern working ranch, showing the relationship between water sources and the infrastructure required to manage large-scale grazing lands in Nevada's Great Basin province.
