2021 Map of Adobe Summit

About this map

The Adobe Range dominates this landscape in northeastern Nevada, where high-desert drainage systems like Susie Cr and Swales Cr carve through the basin and range terrain. This modern survey illustrates the persistent topography of the Great Basin, focusing on the prominent Adobe Summit and the descent into Dobe Canyon. While largely characterized by open terrain, the map reveals a network of water sources vital to this arid environment, including Mud Spring and Barrel Springs. Local access is marked by modern routes such as Honey Do Rd and El Ranchero Dr near the summit, providing a clear record of current land use and access points in Elko County. The map provides a detailed view of the watershed divide, tracing the paths of Sixteenmile Cr and Adobe Cr as they move away from the central ridgelines.
