1964 Map of Wilson Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

YP Ranch and several other historic cattle operations anchor this high-desert landscape in Elko County, reflecting the enduring ranching economy of northern Nevada during the mid-1960s. The northern reaches of the Tuscarora Mts and the prominent Cornucopia Ridge dominate the southern terrain, while water management is central to the area's utility. Significant water bodies include the expansive Wilson Reservoir, Deep Creek Reservoir, and Rawhide Reservoir, which supported the surrounding livestock ranges. Local education and infrastructure are evidenced by the Edgemont Sch and a landing strip near the IL Ranch. The map also traces a network of remote travel routes, including a Jeep Trail cutting through Canyon Creek, highlighting the isolation and utility of the land between the Owyhee River and the rugged basins like Wild Horse Basin.
