About this map

Mount Ichabod dominates this high-altitude landscape of Elko County, where the upper reaches of the Bruneau River drainage shape the terrain. This 2012 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching territory characterized by established family holdings like the F Shively Ranch, P R Prunty Ranch, and A Torreuil Ranch. These ranching operations are centered around vital water sources such as Mason Creek, Dolly Creek, and the East Fork Beaver Creek.

Evidence of historical water management for livestock and irrigation is found in the Charleston Reservoir and Dry Lake Reservoir. The map shows a transition from high peaks like Wild Horse Mountain and Lookout Mountain to softer features like Evans Flat and Jenkins Meadows, providing a clear look at the geography of northeastern Nevada's ranch country. County roads Co HWY-748 and Co HWY-746 serve as the primary conduits through this expansive canyon-and-mountain environment.
