2014 Map of Cedar Ridge

About this map

Cedar Ridge rises as the central topographical feature of this Nevada landscape, situated within the vast expanse of Elko County. The map details the high-altitude terrain where the Dixie Hills meet the northern edges of the quadrangle, punctuated by the deep cut of Crane Springs Canyon in the northwest. This 2014 survey documents the remote character of the region, emphasizing natural drainage patterns such as Little Porter Cr in the south. The land is largely defined by its public land survey system grid, reflecting a history of range management and mineral exploration rather than dense settlement. Researchers can trace the intersections of various townships and ranges, including t30n r54e, t30n r55e, t29n r54e, and t29n r55e, which organize this corner of the Great Basin.
