2018 Map of Cedar Ridge

About this map

Cedar Ridge rises as a central topographic prominence within this Elko County landscape, serving as a significant geographical anchor in a region defined by high-elevation terrain and seasonal drainages. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Little Porter Cr cuts across the basin floor, illustrating the sparse but vital water networks that sustain the high desert environment. The northern reaches are shaped by Crane Springs Canyon, which provides a natural corridor through the upland reaches near the Dixie Hills. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape largely defined by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t30n r54e and t29n r55e marking the transition between open range and topographic barriers.
