1982 Map of Kalamazoo Creek

About this map

Schell Creek Range dominates the western half of this Nevada landscape, where the high terrain of the Humboldt National Forest gives way to the lower eastern flats. Small-scale ranching and mineral extraction define the human presence here during the late twentieth century, evidenced by the Eldridge Ranch and the Grand Deposit mine. The water management system is particularly detailed, showing a complex network of irrigation and water control including a Diversion Dam, a Ditch, and an Abandoned Ditch that trace the historical efforts to divert mountain runoff from Kalamazoo Creek and Meadow Creek toward the arid valley floor. This survey also records isolated infrastructure such as a Landing Strip near Meadow Creek Ranch and the settlement of Muncy tucked along the northern slopes.
