1965 Map of Izzenhood Ranch

About this map

Izzenhood Ranch serves as the focal point of this Nevada landscape, situated in a high-desert environment characterized by large ranches and expansive open range. The terrain is dominated by the prominent geological formation of Roosters Comb, where sharp elevation changes contrast with the flatter basins of the surrounding high plateau. The infrastructure reflects the mid-century ranching economy, with water access provided by Lander Well and transit facilitated by the unpaved Izzenhood Road and various Jeep Trails. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map documents a sparse but deliberate settlement pattern common to Lander County, where life centered around established ranching headquarters and critical water sources in an arid climate.
