2021 Map of Rodear Flat

About this map

Rodear Flat lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Elko County, where the S Fork Little Humboldt River carves a winding path through the arid terrain. The northern reaches are dominated by the vast Owyhee Desert, while the southern portion of the sheet rises into the Snowstorm Mountains. This 2021 survey documents a sparsely populated region characterized by distinct geographic landmarks and ranching features like Button Field. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Snowstorm Cr and First Cr, which feed into the primary river system. Local relief is provided by prominent formations such as Castle Ridge and the First Creek Basin, illustrating the complex topography that defines this remote corner of Nevada.
