2021 Map of Button Lake Well

About this map

Owyhee Desert terrain dominates this corner of Elko County, where the landscape is defined by vast drainage networks and scattered seasonal water sources. The topography is marked by the winding path of Lake Creek, which snakes through the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle. In the west, the isolated Button Lake provides a distinct hydrological landmark amidst the arid plains. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse, open territory largely partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, showing the transition between various townships and ranges such as t45n r45e and t43n r45e. The lack of established roads or settlements highlights the remote character of this high-desert environment, where natural drainage and elevation contours are the primary identifiers for land navigation and historical tracking.
