About this map

Boulder Valley and the southern slopes of the Sheep Range define the landscape of this Nevada survey. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Boulder Creek, Rodeo Creek, and Sheep Creek, which provide vital water sources in this high-desert environment. Human activity is evidenced by scattered water infrastructure and ranching outposts, notably the Boulder Windmill Corral and the Sheep Creek Windmill Corral.

Resource extraction and transportation patterns are visible through several Gravel Pits, a lone Prospect, and a series of rugged paths designated as Jeep Trail. An Aqueduct cuts through the southeastern corner near the Elko Co Eureka Co line, suggesting large-scale water management projects. The map also delineates the transition into the Little Boulder Basin, showing the complex topography utilized by local livestock operations in the late 1960s.
