About this map

The Granite Range dominates this landscape in northeastern Elko County, centering on the high summit of Granite Peak and the surrounding high-altitude drainage systems. In the late 1960s, the area remained a hub for remote academic research and industrial exploration. The Knoll Creek Experimental Station stands out as a significant landmark for the University of Nevada, while a dense network of mining claims speaks to the region's mineral history. Numerous named prospects and mines, including the Hazel Mine, Arizona Mine, and Rosa O'Connell Mine, are scattered across the slopes near Blanchard Mtn. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Hanks Creek and Meadow Creek, where seasonal Springs and Jeep Trails provide the primary means of navigation through the high country between China Mountain and Knoll Mountain.
