1984 Map of Odgers Ranch

About this map

The Medicine Range anchors the southwestern portion of this 1980s landscape, while the Delcer Buttes and West Butte dominate the northeastern horizon. This survey depicts a high-desert environment in Elko County defined by water management and ranching operations, centered on the Odgers Ranch and its network of irrigation ditches and intermittent ponds. The land use here is punctuated by specialized infrastructure for livestock and desert survival, including multiple water sources like Fasano Spring, Quillici Spring, and Taylor Spring. Evidence of early mineral exploration remains visible through scattered Prospects in the northern hills. The map also delineates a portion of an Indian Reservation, showing how administrative boundaries and traditional land use overlapped with private ranching interests in this corner of Nevada.
