2012 Map of Tule Valley

About this map

The North Fork Humboldt River meanders through this portion of Elko County, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching operations and vital water sources. Private holdings including Keddy Ranch, Tule Ranch, and the Upper Tule Ranch are situated near the waterways, illustrating the importance of local drainage systems like Pie Creek for the region's agricultural viability. The terrain transitions from the open floor of Tule Valley and Willming Valley into more varied formations such as Lost Wallet Rim and the passage at Devils Gap. This 2012 survey identifies numerous named springs, such as Mud Springs, Horse Spring, and Green Spring, which serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment where water dictates the location of every settlement and livestock outpost.
