2012 Map of Adobe Summit

About this map

Adobe Summit serves as the focal point for this section of Elko County, where high-desert drainage patterns define the local geography. The landscape is dominated by the complex network of Susie Creek and its major tributaries, including Middle Susie Creek and Camp Creek, which carve through the terrain. Human activity is sparse but notable at the Adobe Ranch, which sits near the junction of several seasonal watercourses. The eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the path of Adobe Creek and East Adobe Creek, revealing how modern transport routes like Huney Do Rd still follow the natural contours of the basin. Scattered water sources such as Barrel Springs and Mud Spring indicate the critical role of hydrology in this high-altitude cattle ranching and range land.
