2014 Map of Caudle Creek

About this map

The Humboldt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Nevada and Idaho. This rugged portion of Elko County is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages including Caudle Cr, Raker Cr, and Sheep Cr, which carve through the Elk Mountains and the northern reaches of the Marys River Range. The transition from the Inside Desert in the west to the higher canyons suggests a terrain shaped by snowmelt and seasonal water flow, as evidenced by names like Coyote Spring and Black Spring.
