2012 Map of Beaver Peak

About this map

Beaver Peak rises as the primary landmark in this drainage basin within Elko County. The landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways that flow through the arid terrain. Squaw Creek and Boulder Creek dominate the northern reaches, while the southern slopes are drained by the branching paths of Bell Creek and Little Jack Creek. To the east, Coyote Creek carves its way through the landscape, illustrating the topographical elevation changes typical of this Nevada high-desert region. The map captures a largely undeveloped wilderness area where natural hydrology remains the dominant feature of the land, providing a record of the watershed as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
