1973 Map of Rodear Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Little Humboldt River and its South Fork dominate this high-desert landscape in Elko County, mapping a network of drainages and seasonal water sources. The map captures a moment in the early 1970s where ranching infrastructure remains the primary human footprint in this isolated terrain. Evidence of local livestock management appears at Castle Place and a nearby Corral, while the wide expanse of Rodear Flat suggests its use as a natural gathering point for cattle. Navigation through the area is defined by a sparse system of Jeep Trails that follow the contours of Castle Ridge and descend into the First Creek Basin. This survey provides essential detail for understanding the hydrological patterns of the northern Great Basin, tracking the path of Snowstorm Creek and various unnamed Spring locations that sustained the region's ranching economy.
