2021 Map of Burner Hills

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Burner Hills define the high ground of this remote Elko County landscape, where deep drainage patterns reveal the steady work of Milligan Cr and Willow Cr. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map highlights the intricate relationship between topography and the scarce water sources essential for survival in this arid region, such as Bookkeeper Spring. The terrain is marked by a rigorous public land survey system, including townships like t41n r47e, which partition the high desert for grazing and resource management. A single thoroughfare, SSR 18, provides the primary transit through the hills, tracing a path that avoids the most severe elevations while connecting the northern and southern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2021 study documents the contemporary character of a landscape that remains largely defined by its natural contours and seasonal waterways.
