1971 Map of Riddle

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Duck Valley Indian Reservation dominates the southern reaches of this high-plateau landscape, where the Idaho-Nevada border country is defined by isolated ranching outposts and a network of seasonal water sources. The settlement of Riddle serves as a central point for the surrounding region, situated near a vital Landing Strip and the Squaw Creek Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the broad expanses of Summit Flat and Chicken Flat in the north to the deeply incised Old Man Canyon and the prominent rising of Moorcastle in the center. Evidence of earlier habitation or ranching infrastructure appears at the Ruins near Indian Creek Reservoir, while the presence of several Borrow Pits suggests localized road maintenance or construction efforts within this arid environment. Ranching heritage is anchored by the U D Ranch, positioned along the drainage of Payne Creek as it winds through the northern hills.
