2014 Map of Cherry Creek NE

About this map

Buffalo Mtn dominates the northwestern corner of this Nevada landscape, where the high elevations of the range descend into the broad expanse of Buffalo Valley. The geography is defined by the meeting of three counties—Humboldt, Pershing, and Lander—marked by straight-line jurisdictional boundaries that bisect the arid terrain. Natural drainage follows narrow corridors like Trenton Cr and Mill Creek in the southeast, providing rare water sources in a region characterized by wide basins and steep ridges. Transportation through this remote section of the Great Basin relies on a network of unpaved routes, including Smelser Pass Rd and Buffalo Valley Rd, which navigate the gaps between the mountains. The map also shows a segment of Nv-93-Alt cutting across the southwestern corner, illustrating how modern infrastructure skirts the edges of these high-desert obstacles.
