About this map

The Sheldon National Antelope Refuge and the Charles Sheldon Antelope Range dominate this high-desert landscape during the mid-1960s, straddling the remote border between Nevada and Oregon. This area within Washoe County and Lake County is defined by its rugged basins and ranges, where water management is critical to the local environment and ranching economy. Significant water features include Rye Creek Reservoir, Roadtrack Reservoir, and the drainage of Rye Creek itself as it flows through the Antelope Range.
