2018 Map of Burner Hills

About this map

Burner Hills dominates the interior of this Elko County landscape, where the topography rises to define a series of ridges and drainages. The area is marked by a sparse network of historical land divisions, including t41n r47e, which segments the high desert terrain. Water resources are rare in this environment, with Bookkeeper Spring providing a critical focal point in the northwest. Transportation is limited to a primary route, identified as Ssr 18, which skirts the eastern and southern edges of the hills, suggesting the movement of cattle or minerals through this portion of Nevada. This survey from the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the local topography before more recent developments, preserving the original nomenclature of the Great Basin land system.
