About this map

Adobe Range dominates this corner of Elko County, where high-altitude water sources and remote ranching operations define the landscape. The survey captures a network of vital seasonal and perennial water sources, including Mud Spring, Barrel Springs, and several unnamed Springs that supported livestock in this arid environment. Key drainage systems like Susie Creek and Adobe Creek carve through the terrain, providing natural corridors for travel.

Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by the Adobe Ranch and a designated Camp area. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a network of Jeep Trails and standard Trails suggests a working landscape tied to road maintenance and resource extraction. At the southern end, the Adobe Summit serves as a critical geographic marker for those navigating between the drainages of East Adobe Creek and the western slopes.
