1971 Map of Wieland Flat

About this map

Wieland Flat dominates this high-elevation basin in Elko County, where the 1971 landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and rugged resource extraction. Several drainages including Pie Creek, Dorsey Creek, and Willow Creek carve through the terrain, sustained by scattered perennial points like China Spring and the aptly named Coal Mine Creek to the northeast. The presence of a prospect and multiple borrow pits suggests active or historic earth-moving operations, likely supporting the network of jeep trails that provide the only passage across these slopes.
