About this map

Kelly Creek Ranch sits at the southern reach of this arid basin, a rare point of named habitation where the drainage of Kelly Creek meets the lower slopes. The landscape is defined by the eastern rise of the Snowstorm Mountains, where high-elevation springs like Kelly Creek Spring feed the intermittent watercourses below. This 1980 survey captures a working landscape of the Great Basin, marked by small-scale resource extraction and livestock management. Evidence of mining history appears in the form of unnamed Prospects situated near the county boundary, while the presence of a Corral and various jeep trails suggests the ongoing use of the land for ranching. The topographical data reveals the transition from the relatively level basin floor near Rabbit to the sharp relief of the mountains, including the distinct terrain of Chimney and the drainage of Twentyone Creek.
