2018 Map of Sheep Creek Range NW

About this map

The Sheep Creek Range dominates the southeastern portion of this Lander County landscape, culminating in the prominent peak of Black Mtn. This high desert terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems that flow through the sagebrush and scrub, including the main channel of Rock Creek and its tributaries like Sixmile Creek and Antelope Creek. The topographic detail reveals the intricate ridgelines and canyons of the range, offering a clear look at the elevation changes across this part of the Great Basin. Rock Creek Rd provides the primary access through the northern sections, tracing a route that follows the natural contours of the valley floor. The map highlights the systematic division of the land into townships such as t36n r47e, illustrating the continuing importance of the Public Land Survey System in defining northern Nevada's ranching and resource territory.
