1974 Map of Peterson Table West

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The South Fork Owyhee River snakes through a deep canyon in this remote corner of Elko County, Nevada, defining the topographical character of the high desert plateau. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the landscape is divided between the elevated Peterson Table and the arid expanse of the Yp Desert. The map reveals a land utilized primarily for ranching and resource extraction, with multiple Corrals and a Water Tank positioned along Fourmile Creek. Evidence of early transportation and commerce is visible in the primitive Pack Trail winding along the river canyon and a isolated Gravel Pit in the northeast. This sheet provides a detailed record of water sources in a dry environment, noting several Springs that likely served as critical waypoints for local livestock operations.
