1936 Map of Rowland

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Bruneau River carves through the high desert of the Idaho and Nevada borderlands, serving as the central artery for a remote network of cattle ranches and mountain peaks. Centered on the settlement of Rowland, this mid-century survey documents a landscape of essential water sources like Mustang Spring and Robinson Spring that supported early territorial life. The distribution of family-named sites, from the Knight Ranch in the north to the Culver Ranch in the south, reflects a scattered ranching economy established long before modern consolidation. Educational outposts like Bruneau Sch and Meadow Creek Sch suggest the presence of small, isolated communities. High-altitude landmarks such as Tennessee Mtn and Bearpaw Mtn overlook the transition into the Humboldt National Forest, where the Gold Creek Ranger Sta managed the vast public lands near the headwaters of Taylor Creek.
