About this map

Contact is the primary settlement on this northeastern Nevada quadrangle, situated along the banks of Salmon Falls Cr. This area is characterized by the prominent peaks and drainages of the Salmon River Range, where high-elevation landmarks like Ellen D Mtn and Tabletop Mtn dominate the horizon. The landscape is a complex network of canyons and gulches, including the notable Bonanza Canyon and Thompson Gulch.

Water is a critical feature in this arid environment, marked by Bear Spring and the winding course of Townsend Cr. Local infrastructure is represented by rural routes such as CR-757 Elko St and the uniquely named Broadway within the settlement of Contact. To the north, the terrain transitions into the more open Cottonwood Field, while the southern reaches are defined by White Ridge and Blue Jay Gulch.
