About this map

The S Fork Humboldt River carves through this high-desert landscape in Elko County, serving as the central artery for a scattering of established ranching outposts. The settlement of Lee Po anchors the western edge of the map, while family-named holdings like Gund Ranch, Magnuson Ranch, and Wysong Ranch illustrate the enduring agricultural footprint in the region. The terrain is defined by its drainage network, with seasonal and perennial flows such as Pearl Cr and Rattlesnake Cr feeding into the main river system.

Prominent geographical features like Echo Canyon, Box Canyon, and Long Canyon provide significant topographical relief against the high-elevation basin. A network of Forest Service and local roads, including Lee Rd and Long Canyon Rd, connects these remote points of interest. This survey effectively documents the intersection of rural Nevada ranching culture and the complex hydrology of the Humboldt River's headwaters.
