2018 Map of Bullion

About this map

The Piñon Range dominates the western landscape of this Elko County quadrangle, where the settlement of Bullion sits nestled against the high slopes. This area reflects the characteristic high-desert geography of northeastern Nevada, defined by steep ridges and the broad, lower-elevation expanse of Dixie Flats. Water sources like Emigrant Spring and Potato Patch Spring are critical markers on the land, suggesting the historical reliance on reliable springs for travelers and ranching operations in this arid environment. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Dixie Hills, with the drainage of Dixie Cr cutting through the terrain. Further south, the deep impression of Cissillini Canyon breaks the mountain front, providing a detailed look at the complex topography and drainage patterns that have historically shaped local land use and transit.
