About this map

Adobe Summit rises as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Elko County, marking a high point between the drainages of the Adobe Range. The terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal water sources and canyons, including the steep descent of Dobe Canyon and the headwaters of Adobe Creek. Life in this arid environment is anchored by vital water points such as Mud Spring and Barrel Springs, which have long served as essential markers for navigation and livestock in the Great Basin.

Modern access is represented by Honey Do Dr, while the natural drainage patterns of Susie Creek, Swales Creek, and Sixteenmile Creek illustrate the hydrologic character of the region. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical geography of the basin and range province, showing how the land is partitioned through the township and range system near the junction of several significant creek systems.
