1987 Map of Sheep Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Duck Valley Indian Reservation dominates the northern reaches of this Elko County landscape, where the high desert terrain is shaped by the winding course of Sheep Creek. This 1987 provisional survey documents a transition between the rugged heights of Sugarloaf Hill and the flat, water-managed basins of Poker Flat and its associated Poker Flat Reservoir. The northeastern corner is anchored by the Sheep Creek Reservoir, featuring a dedicated Picnic Area, suggesting its role as a local recreational destination in an otherwise sparse and arid environment. Evidence of industrial activity is limited but present at a Quarry in the southern sector near Indian Creek. The map provides a clear picture of the water distribution and drainage patterns of the era, marking numerous Springs and the seasonal path of Dry Creek as it cuts through the sagebrush-covered hills.
