1965 Map of Sheep Creek Range SE

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The high desert divide of the Black Rock Range and the alluvial expanse of Boulder Valley define this mid-1960s landscape along the border of Lander and Eureka counties. Water management and hydrological monitoring are central to the activity in this arid corridor, evidenced by a Gaging Station on Rock Creek and a localized Ditch system. The map captures a moment when traditional ranching or agricultural infrastructure relied on the seasonal flows of ephemeral watercourses like Boulder Creek. The stark transition from the steep contours of the western mountains to the broad, flat basin illustrates the drainage patterns essential to Great Basin geography before modern developments might have altered these rural water rights and paths.
