2014 Map of Coal Mine Basin

About this map

Coal Mine Basin and the adjacent Adobe Range define the high-altitude landscape of this northern Nevada survey. The area is marked by a network of seasonal water sources and canyons, with topographic highlights such as Tower Mtn and the distinct peak of Sugarloaf. The drainage pattern is complex, with Badger Cr and Coal Mine Cr carving through the terrain. Evidence of the region's ranching and mining potential is seen in the naming of features like Coal Mine Pass and the numerous vital water points including Blackrock Spring, Cherry Spring, and Five Springs. The map illustrates the varied land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including sections of t38n r56e and t39n r55e, providing a clear view of the territorial organization in Elko County.
