1971 Map of Reed Station

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Reed Station and the surrounding high-desert range of Elko County are captured here just as modern survey methods were detailing the Great Basin's rugged interior. The eastern slopes of the Independence Mountains dominate the western half of the sheet, where peaks like Nannies Peak and Lone Mountain rise above a landscape defined by water scarcity and mineral exploration. The presence of Hot Spring and numerous unnamed springs indicates the geothermal activity of the region, while the Lone Wolf Mine and scattered prospects near McClellan Creek reflect the area's legacy of prospecting. Ranching infrastructure is visible at Fox Springs Ranch, supported by a network of unimproved routes like Fordman and various jeep trails that connect isolated water sources including Eagle Rock Reservoir and Reed Reservoir. This 1971 field-checked survey provides a clear view of the transition between the high mountain terrain and the drainage flats of Pie Creek and Rock Creek.
