2012 Map of State Line Camp

About this map

State Line Camp sits on the high plateau of the Nevada-Idaho border, a site defined by its isolation and the drainage patterns of the high desert. This 2012 survey captures a transition point where the Y P Desert meets the winding course of the South Fork Owyhee River. The landscape is sparse, marked primarily by ranching infrastructure and the seasonal water management represented by Garat Reservoir G9. Transportation across this borderland relies on a network of unpaved local roads and 4WD tracks, reflecting the enduring remote character of Elko County. The map provides a precise look at the drainage networks and topography that have long dictated human activity and settlement patterns in this arid region of the Great Basin.
