The Snake Mountains dominate the southwestern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Elko County, where seasonal water sources and canyons define the local geography. At the heart of the drainages is Boies Reservoir, fed by Jakes Cr and its various tributaries including the N Fork Jakes Cr and Middle Fork Jakes Cr. The map reveals a network of intermittent streams like Dead Bull Cr and Dry Cr, which flow through features such as Harris Canyon. Access to this remote cattle-grazing country is primarily via the O'Neil Co Rd, which skirts the northeastern slopes. The prevalence of water-related landmarks, such as Corral Spring and Dead Bull Spring, highlights the essential points of interest for land management and recreation in this high-altitude basin.
