2014 Map of Reed Station

About this map

Reed Station sits at a geographic nexus in this Elko County landscape, where the foothills of the Independence Mountains meet a network of high-desert drainages. The area is defined by its water sources, from the thermal waters of Hot Spring to the cattle-country hubs of Twin Springs and Fox Springs. Traces of ranching operations are visible across the township lines, including the Stampede Rnch and infrastructure like the Reed Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the broad expanse of Telegraph Flat in the northwest to the prominent heights of Nannies Peak and Lone Mtn in the south. This 2014 survey documents the enduring character of Nevada's interior basin, where named landmarks like Eagle Rock and Red Hill have long served as navigational aids for travelers moving between the mountain ranges and the creek-fed valleys of McClellan Cr and Fordman Cr.
