1982 Map of Kalamazoo Creek

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates the western half of this 1980s-era topographic study, where the high ridges of the Humboldt National Forest drop sharply into the arid valleys of eastern Nevada. Water management is the defining human footprint here, evidenced by an extensive network of irrigation features including the Abandoned Ditch, a Diversion Dam, and various segments simply labeled Ditch or Abnd Ditch that lace the lowlands. These systems supported isolated outposts like the Eldridge Ranch and Meadow Creek Ranch at the base of the mountains.
