1973 Map of Star Valley Ridge SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Little Owyhee River carves through this high desert terrain in northeastern Nevada, providing a stark geographic contrast to the surrounding arid plateaus. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral nature of its water sources, as seen at the Lake Creek Well (Dry) and the seasonal flows of Lake Creek. Transportation across this remote Elko County landscape in the early 1970s relied heavily on primitive infrastructure, evidenced by a network of Jeep Trails and a significant Pipeline corridor that cuts diagonally across the quadrangle. Distinctive local landmarks like Dobe Doc offer unique points of reference for researchers and historians tracing the land use and ranching history of this corner of the Great Basin.
