About this map

Beaver Peak rises as the dominant landmark within the northern reaches of the Tuscarora Mountains in Elko County. This 2021 survey documents a high-altitude landscape defined by a complex network of drainages and named canyons. High mountain summits drop into the Little Boulder Basin to the south, while numerous seasonal and perennial streams like Squaw Cr and Boulder Cr carve the western slopes.

The eastern aspect of the range is marked by steep transitions into Toro Canyon and Barber Canyon. Modern hydrography datasets illustrate the intricate watershed system where Little Jack Cr and Coyote Cr navigate the high desert terrain. This map serves as a primary record of the topographic relief and natural landmarks in a region largely shaped by the enduring geography of the Great Basin's interior ranges.
