2014 Map of Red Cow Creek

About this map

The Tuscarora Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, forming a dramatic backdrop for a complex network of seasonal drainages. This high-altitude drainage basin is defined by the headwaters of the South Fork Owyhee River, which cuts through the northeastern corner of the territory. The map documents a classic Great Basin hydrologic pattern, where numerous creeks including Red Cow Cr, Amazon Cr, and Fourmile Cr descend from the mountain slopes to feed the larger river system. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries such as t41n r50e dividing the open range. This 2014 survey serves as a detailed study of the remote topography before further modern development, highlighting the isolation and the natural watercourses like Wild Horse Cr and Chino Cr that dictate the character of this interior mountain terrain.
