Lake Creek dominates the drainage of this arid corner of Elko County, its winding path tracing the floor of the high desert basin. The landscape is sparse, defined by the isolated rising ground of Bartome Knoll in the southeast. A single point of remote human habitation or shelter, the Star Valley Cabin, sits at the northern edge of the map, marking a quiet outpost in this high-altitude cattle country. This 2012 survey captures the modern road network and water channels in a region where settlement is dictated by the availability of water and the harsh demands of the Great Basin environment.
