2014 Map of Peterson Table East

About this map

The South Fork Owyhee River carves a deep path through this high desert terrain in Elko County, defining a landscape shaped by hydrology and seasonal grazing. The flat elevation of Peterson Table stands as a prominent topographical landmark north of the river, while smaller water features like Garat Spring and the Garat Reservoir indicate the vital role of water management in this arid region. The network of drainage, including Sheep Cr, Spring Cr, and Circle Cr, highlights the natural runoff patterns feeding the Owyhee basin. This area, largely defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of T46N and T45N, reflects a vast, open landscape where terrain features such as Rye Grass serve as local navigation points for ranchers and travelers in the Nevada interior.
