That’s exactly the unit.
The Maggie Creek area was the area near the Hunter exit I was talking about. I try to use Interstate exits and road references, because I reckon most folks outside the area won’t know creeks, draws, springs, mountains, etc. In this case, Maggie Creek is the area covered by ranches along the Humboldt River just west of Elko, east of the Carlin Tunnels.
From looking at the first pic, the helo is re-filling from the Humboldt River.
