2012 Map of Rock Creek Ranch

About this map

Rock Creek Ranch serves as the central namesake landmark in this remote section of Elko County, Nevada. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Rock Creek, which flows from north to south across the high desert terrain. Water management is a critical element of the local ranching infrastructure, as evidenced by the Rock Creek Reservoir situated near the primary ranch buildings. In the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, the drainage of Antelope Creek joins the system, highlighting the natural hydrological patterns that sustain land use in this arid region of the Great Basin during the early twenty-first century.
