2018 Map of Peterson Table East

About this map

The South Fork Owyhee River cuts a prominent course through this high desert plateau, feeding into a complex network of marshes and riparian wetlands. At the center of the survey lies Peterson Table, a significant upland feature that overlooks the drainages of Circle Cr and Spring Cr. This landscape is defined by its water management history, evidenced by the presence of Garat Reservoir and Garat Spring to the north, which serve as vital resources in this arid Elko County environment. The map details the transition from the dry heights of Rye Grass down to the saturated lowlands of the river valley, offering a precise look at the hydrology and terrain as it existed during the 2018 update.
