2018 Map of White Flats

About this map

White Flats serves as a central hub of development in this Nevada high-desert landscape, where the South Fork Reservoir and its surrounding topography dictate the local settlement pattern. The terrain transition is sharp between the rising Elko Hills to the north and the broad expanses of Dixie Flats to the south. Water management and recreational access are evident through the network of drainage systems including Tenmile Cr, Dixie Cr, and Crane Stream, all feeding into the larger riparian corridor of the South Fork Humboldt River. The residential grid in the southern quadrant features streets named for prominent historical figures, such as Eisenhower Ave and Patton Ave, while older transit routes like Hamilton Stage Rd and Bullion Rd suggest the area's legacy as a thoroughfare for early western commerce and mining transport.
