1987 Map of Peterson Table East

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

South Fork Owyhee River carves through the high plateau of Elko County, defining the drainage patterns of this arid landscape. This 1987 provisional map documents a transition between open range and the southwestern corner of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation. The prominent Peterson Table dominates the central terrain, bordered by a series of seasonal drainages including Circle Creek, Spring Creek, and Sheep Creek. Human intervention in this environment is marked by water management and resource extraction, evidenced by the Ditch system and a Road on Levee following the river's path. Scattered industrial and ranching landmarks like the Quarry and Four Mile Well point to the remote operations of the Great Basin, where limited water sources dictate the placement of roads and structures.
