1973 Map of Little Rock Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Rock Creek Shearing Corral serves as a focal point for the ranching activity that defined this high desert landscape in Elko County during the early 1970s. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Little Rock Creek, Coyote Creek, and Soldier Creek, which converge as they flow toward the larger Rock Creek. To the south, the prominent Willow Creek Ridge rises above the basin, while localized Hot Springs and numerous unnamed springs indicate the area's geothermal and hydrological complexity. Human presence is marked by a sparse infrastructure of Jeep Trails and scattered prospects, reflecting an economy built on livestock management and mineral exploration. The presence of multiple corrals and shearing pens suggests a seasonally active range where shepherds and ranchers gathered stock from the surrounding drainages like Trout Creek.
