About this map

Lake Mtn dominates the high northern terrain of this Elko County landscape, where the high desert is carved by a complex network of seasonal drainages. The hydrology of the area is defined by the namesake Beaver Cr and its tributaries, including Little Beaver Cr, while the southern reaches are marked by the convergent flows of Haskell Cr, N Haskell Cr, and Coyote Cr near Maggie Cr.

Land use is primarily concentrated in the flatter eastern basins, indicated by named areas such as South Field and Taylor Field. Steep elevation changes are most prominent in the northwest, where Williams Canyon, Toro Canyon, and Barber Canyon cut into the ridges. The only significant infrastructure shown is CR 736, reflecting the sparse, ranch-oriented character of this portion of Nevada during the early 21st century.
