1965 Map of Rock Creek Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Rock Creek Ranch serves as a primary point of reference in this mid-1960s landscape, situated along the meandering course of Rock Creek. The terrain is defined by the high desert elevations at the intersection of Elko and Lander counties, where the water systems of Rock Creek and Antelope Creek dictate the layout of the land. Economic activity is evidenced by the presence of the Silver Cloud Mine in the eastern hills and various prospects scattered across the ridges, highlighting the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction. The sparse settlement pattern and concentration of resource-based features illustrate a classic Great Basin ranching and mining environment during the mid-twentieth century.
