2021 Map of Cedar Ridge

About this map

Cedar Ridge rises as the central topographic landmark in this high-desert Elko County landscape, defining the watershed between several distinct drainage basins. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the course of Little Porter Cr, which winds through the basin floor between complex ridgelines. To the northwest, the deep incisions of Crane Springs Canyon provide a contrast to the broader elevations of the Dixie Hills seen in the northeast corner. This map documents the remote high-plateau environment of northeastern Nevada, where the Public Land Survey System grids—including t30n r54e, t30n r55e, t29n r54e, and t29n r55e—overlay a terrain shaped by seasonal watercourses and sharp vertical relief.
