2012 Map of Contact

About this map

Contact is situated in the northeastern corner of Nevada, where the High Desert landscape meets the Salmon River Range. This 2012 survey illustrates the small settlement's layout along Salmon Falls Creek, including streets such as Elko Ave, Main St, and Broadway. The surrounding Elko County terrain is defined by prominent topographical landmarks, ranging from the heights of Ellen D Mountain and Tabletop Mountain to the depths of Bonanza Canyon and Blue Jay Gulch. Hydrological features like Bear Spring and the drainage of Townsend Creek provide essential water points in this arid environment. The map details the proximity of high-altitude features like Mahogany Basin and White Ridge, offering a clear view of the region's complex geography and sparse road network as it existed in the early 21st century.
