About this map

South Fork Reservoir anchors this high-desert landscape in Elko County, serving as a primary focal point for the surrounding residential and recreational developments. The waters of the South Fork Humboldt River feed into this basin after winding through the South Fork Canyon to the northwest. To the south of the reservoir, the community of White Flats is laid out in a distinct grid, with streets named for historical figures and local landmarks, including Sherman Ave, Eisenhower Ave, and Bradley Ave.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and transit history remains visible through features like the Hamilton Stage Rd and Bullion Rd, which connect the river valley to the broader high-plains terrain. The northeastern portion of the sheet is marked by ranching operations, specifically Tenmile Ranch and Lower Tenmile Ranch, situated where Tenmile Creek flows toward the reservoir's eastern shore near the S Fork St Rec Area.
