1973 Map of Button Lake Well

About this map

Button Lake Well and its associated Water Tanks serve as a primary focal point in this high-desert Elko County landscape, mapped during a 1973 field check. The area is defined by a network of primitive jeep trails that navigate around the prominent high point at Button 5664. This region relies on seasonal water sources and specialized infrastructure to support ranching or survey activities, evidenced by Lake Creek and the remote Corral Lake Well. The map includes numerous benchmark locations, such as BM 5468 and BM 5526, which document the precise elevation survey required for managing this arid terrain. The drainage patterns leading toward the eastern Lake illustrate the local topography where water collection and storage are critical to land use.
