1968 Map of Wine Cup Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Wine Cup Ranch and Threemile Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in Elko County, reflecting the region's enduring ranching heritage in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the prominent Windermere Hills to the south and a complex network of hydrologic features essential for survival in the arid Great Basin. The drainage of Thousand Springs Creek serves as a vital corridor through the valley, supported by numerous water sources including Wells (Hot), Springs (Hot), and Indian Spring. The map documents a sparsely populated area where human activity is primarily tied to livestock and resource management, indicated by various Borrow Pits and a winding Jeep Trail that navigates the slopes. This survey provides a precise record of water rights and land use, showing exactly where wells and springs were developed to support these remote cattle operations.
