Ho for Reese River Natural Resources of the Toiyabe-Toquima Highlands, Central Nevada

摘要

A historical review is presented of issues which have underscored development of the Reese River Valley with respect to water and land resources, as part of a planned series examining the Humbolt River and its major tributaries. Interaction between natural resources and human occupation of this region in historic time is examined and interpreted. This review covers the gradual, accidental, and the generally typical exploration of central Nevada, the 1862-1866 peak activity period (mining, milling) in central Nevada, changes since 1867, legend and tradition, the development of agriculture in the Toiyabe highlands, the Indian influence, and the camps of the Toiyabes.
