RENO, Nev. — One of Elko County's expert witnesses in a 15-year-old legal battle over control of a road in remote wilderness acknowledged Monday that he has never found a map or other historical document that shows a road or trail existed before the area was designated part of a national forest in 1909.
Land surveyor William Price testified as the second week of an evidentiary hearing resumed in U.S. District Court in Reno. The case pits the county against environmentalists suing to re-establish federal authority over the road in their ongoing effort to protect the threatened bull trout in the Jarbidge River near the Idaho border.
