1965 Map of Willow Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Willow Creek Reservoir dominates the northeastern corner of this Nevada landscape, created by the damming of Willow Creek. This mid-century survey documents a high-desert terrain defined by mining activity and water management. Several mineral claims are recorded, including the Rimrock Mine and the Governor Mine near Ivanhoe Creek, alongside the Fox Mine and various unnamed Prospects. The map shows a network of remote transportation routes, primarily designated as Jeep Trail, which connect these operations through the draws and ridges surrounding landmarks like Big Butte. Significant for its inventory of reliable water sources in a dry climate, the sheet identifies numerous vital points such as Ivanhoe Spring, Buttercup Spring, and Antelope Spring, which likely served as critical stops for both mining personnel and livestock operators in the Elko County backcountry.
