2011 Map of Nile Spring

About this map

Trout Creek Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Box Elder County, where seasonal drainages and vital water sources define the patterns of human and animal life. The drainage of Goose Creek dominates the terrain, winding north through the quadrangle and gathering waters from tributaries like Jay Creek and Hardesty Creek. These riparian corridors are punctuated by essential landmarks such as Nile Spring, Point Spring, and Mud Spring, which have historically served as critical anchors for ranching operations and travelers in this arid region.
