1990 Map of Lee

About this map

The South Fork Indian Reservation dominates the western half of this 1990 survey, centered around the small settlement of Lee and the meandering South Fork Humboldt River. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river valley’s agricultural and residential plots to the high-elevation terrain of the Ruby Mountains. Evidence of local utility and community life appears in landmarks like the Rodeo Ground and a Gravel Pit, while the eastern portion of the sheet rises into the Humboldt National Forest and the protected Ruby Mountains Wilderness. A network of drainage systems including Kleckner Creek, Pearl Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek flows toward the South Fork, illustrating the vital water resources that supported the reservation and the nearby Corral in this part of Elko County.
