2021 Map of Tabor Flats

About this map

Tabor Flats defines the central landscape of this Elko County region, where the high desert terrain transitions into a complex drainage network feeding the Humboldt River. The map captures a critical water junction where Tabor Cr, Bishop Cr, and Trout Cr converge at the southern edge of the flats. This hydrological pattern dictated the early path of travel through the basin, evidenced by the persistent routes of the Oneil-Deeth Rd and Oneil Basin Rd. These corridors follow the natural contours of the land, avoiding the seasonal wetlands and marshy segments along the riverbanks. The detailed township and range grids, including t38n r60e and t39n r60e, show how the public land survey system partitioned this open range for ranching and resource management in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
