1970 Map of Lake Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Independence Valley dominates the northern reaches of this Elko County terrain, where a network of ephemeral water sources like Suttle Spring and numerous unnamed Springs dictate the movement of livestock and people. The landscape is carved by deep drainage systems, including Ham Canyon, Bronco Canyon, and Williams Canyon, which channel seasonal flows toward the valley floor. Evidence of high-desert land use is centered around The Lakes and a Corral near Indian Creek Field, suggesting a reliance on scattered water points for ranching operations.
