2021 Map of Bailey Mountain

About this map

Bailey Mountain dominates this portion of Elko County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal water sources. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, where Copper Canyon and Cottonwood Draw cut through the high country. Water is a critical element of this high-desert environment, evidenced by the presence of Toole Springs and Twin Springs, which likely served as vital landmarks for early ranchers and travelers in the region. The map details the headwaters and tributaries of several stream systems, including Robinson Creek and its southern fork, as well as Indian Creek and Pony Creek. This 2021 survey utilizes data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Land Management to document the modern boundaries and road classifications that overlay this remote Nevada landscape.
