2015 Map of Badger Mountain SE

About this map

The Badger Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where the border of Washoe and Humboldt counties divides the terrain. Water sources are the critical defining feature for this region, evidenced by the dispersal of Domingo Spring, Wheeler Spring, and Bateman Spring across the high elevations. The map reveals a land utilized for ranching, most notably centered on the Soldier Meadows Rnch. Topographic variations are captured through deep cuts such as Wildcat Gorge and the broad opening of Shoestring Valley. Drainage patterns are dictated by the seasonal flows of Wall Canyon Cr and Cottonwood Creek, which have carved out corridors like Little Cottonwood Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. This 2015 survey provides a modern record of the durable geographic landmarks and sparse human infrastructure in this part of the Sheldon Antelope Range.
