2015 Map of Tabor Flats

About this map

Tabor Flats defines the high-desert geography of this corner of Elko County, where the sprawling basin floor meets the drainage systems of northeastern Nevada. The Humboldt River cuts through the southern reaches of the map, joined by the confluence of Bishop Creek and Trout Creek. These water sources historically dictated the ranching and transit patterns of the region, visible here through the placement of Rabbit Creek Reservoir and the winding path of Tabor Creek. The landscape is etched by the straight lines of the Public Land Survey System, marking the township and range boundaries that have governed Nevada's land use for over a century. A singular thoroughfare, CR-753, provides the primary north-south transit corridor across the flats, following the natural contours of the valley floor.
