2018 Map of Russells

About this map

McIntyre Slough dominates the lower western portion of this high-desert landscape in Lander County, defining the drainage patterns near the settlement of Russells. The terrain is characterized by the stark elevation change of the Sheep Creek Range, which rises sharply along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2018 survey illustrates the network of ranching and access roads that traverse the basin, including Izzenhood Rd, Mote Rd, and Rock Creek Rd. Water sources like Sheep Cr are critical markers in this arid environment, showing the natural flow from the range toward the lower flats. The map serves as a contemporary record of the land divisions across several townships, capturing the modern footprint of a remote Nevada ranching district.
