1973 Map of Star Valley Ridge East

About this map

Star Valley Ridge dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Nevada and Idaho, recorded during a 1973 field check. The terrain is defined by its remoteness and high elevation, where man-made infrastructure is limited to utility and transit corridors rather than permanent settlements. A Pipeline cuts across the southern elevations, running parallel to the drainage of Luke Creek in the southwest corner. The map provides an intricate view of the network of Jeep Trails and unnamed trails that navigate the ridges and canyons, reflecting a land used for resource management and backcountry access. This survey serves as a precise record of the administrative boundary between Owyhee and Elko counties, where the state line meets in a high-desert environment of steep contours and seasonal watercourses.
