About this map

The Bruneau River carves through a remote high-desert landscape along the Idaho-Nevada border, anchoring a scattered network of early 20th-century ranching outposts. This 1940 edition reflects a pastoral economy where family names define the map, including Hagenbuch Ranch, Budde Rizzi Ranch, and the Alvarez Ranch. The settlement of Rowland and the nearby Bruneau Sch serve as the focal points for this sparsely populated region, which transitions into the protected lands of the Humboldt National Forest to the south.
