2018 Map of Rose Creek

About this map

The Humboldt River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, its path flanked by the Southern Pacific Company RR. This vital transportation corridor connects the small settlements of Raglan and Rose Creek, illustrating the historical dependence of these Great Basin communities on the rail and river network. North of the river, the terrain transitions into the high desert flats of Abel Flat and the elevations of the Tenmile Hills and Little Tabletop Mtn. Local water sources like Little Alkali Spring provide rare geographic points of interest in a region defined by its wide, open reaches. The map also documents a growing grid of modern roads near the river, such as W Martin Rd and Wildhorse Dr, showing the development of rural housing alongside the older Rose Cr drainage.
