About this map

Twin Meadows Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert basin, where several key drainage systems converge to form the headwaters of Salmon Falls Cr. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of N Fork Salmon Falls Cr, S Fork Salmon Falls Cr, and smaller tributaries like Willow Cr and Scott Cr. This complex of water sources sustains the meadows and the remote ranching operations that have long characterized this corner of Elko County.

Remote and high-altitude, the area is largely reached via CR-753, which provides access through the expansive range. Beyond the ranching center, landmarks such as Cottonwood Field and the winding course of Monkey Cr illustrate the seasonal importance of water in this arid environment. The map captures the continued reliance on these specific riparian zones for livestock and settlement in the early 21st century.
