1967 Map of Twelvemile Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Twelvemile Ranch serves as the central landmark for this high-desert Elko County landscape, where the confluence of Crittenden Creek and Thousand Springs Creek dictates the patterns of ranching and land use. The presence of a Flume and several Wells underscores the vital importance of water management in this arid environment, while a Hot Spring marks a unique geothermal feature in the southern basin. The terrain rises sharply away from the valley floor toward prominent landforms such as Rocky Knob and Dome. Evidence of small-scale mineral exploration is visible through various Prospects scattered across the eastern hills, and a Jeep Trail through Schoolhouse Canyon indicates the type of rugged access required for late-1960s range management and prospecting in northern Nevada.
