1974 Map of Winters Ranch Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Burner Hills rise across this Elko County landscape, defining the topography of this high desert region in the mid-1970s. The area is characterized by sparse water sources and rudimentary transit corridors, most notably the Winters Ranch Reservoir, which is noted as a dry well on this survey. Local drainage is defined by the ephemeral courses of Chimney Creek in the east and Milligan Creek in the southwest corner. The prevalence of a Jeep Trail network winding through the hills suggests a terrain utilized primarily for ranching access or survey work rather than established settlement. Numerous benchmark elevation points throughout the quadrangle provide a fine-grained look at the undulating elevations surrounding the reservoir site.
