About this map

The Bruneau River carves through the high desert borderlands of Nevada and Idaho in this mid-1930s survey. This remote landscape in the Humboldt National Forest is defined by a sparse but resilient network of family-operated livestock operations, including the Knight Ranch, Alvarez Ranch, and the Budge Rizzi Ranch. The presence of the Rowland PO and the Bruneau Sch suggests a small, localized community gathered around the Bruneau Mine and the surrounding grazing lands. High plateaus such as Desert Table and Meridian Table overlook deep drainage systems like Diamond Canyon, where the Diamond Canyon Trail provided vital access through the difficult terrain. At the southern edge, the Gold Creek Ranger Sta and the Sunflower Reservoir mark the reach of federal forest management and water control in the Great Basin high country.
