About this map

Tule Valley serves as a central basin in this part of Elko County, defined by the seasonal flow of Pie Cr and the presence of numerous vital water sources. The landscape is marked by high-desert terrain features such as Devils Gap and the Lost Wallet Rim, showing the characteristic relief of the Great Basin. The N Fork Humboldt River cuts through the eastern portion of the area near Willming Valley, providing a corridor for movement and life in an otherwise arid environment.

Remote ranching infrastructure is anchored by Keddy Ranch Rd, which provides the primary access through the valley floor. Several named springs, including Horse Spring, House Spring, and Water Canyon Spring, indicate the historical importance of localized water for livestock and early inhabitants. The topographic detail captures the steep ascents toward Middle Field Canyon and the surrounding ridgelines, preserving the exact layout of this rural Nevada landscape as it stood in the early 21st century.
