2018 Map of Tule Valley

About this map

The N Fork Humboldt River carves a critical path through this high-elevation corner of Elko County, where seasonal water sources dictate the landscape's utility. Significant springs such as Water Canyon Spring, Mud Springs, and Green Spring appear as vital points of interest for those tracing the history of open-range grazing and early ranching infrastructure. The presence of Keddy Ranch Rd provides a rare modern trace through the basin, connecting the sprawling Tule Valley with the surrounding heights of Lost Wallet Rim. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Willming Valley, while narrow geographical features like Devils Gap and Water Canyon suggest the natural bottlenecks and corridors used by travelers and livestock moving through this remote Nevada territory.
