2014 Map of Cornucopia Ridge

About this map

Cornucopia Ridge anchors this high-desert landscape in northern Elko County, defining a region characterized by sparse water sources and dramatic topographic relief. The hydrology of the area is centered on Deep Creek Reservoir, fed by Sulphur Cr and the thermal or mineral-rich waters of Sulphur Spring. The terrain rises from the Wild Horse Basin toward the prominent summit of Silver Peak, where seasonal drainages like Granite Cr carve deep into the slopes. This 2014 survey documents a modern layout of the Public Land Survey System, including sections of t42n r50e and surrounding townships, while noting the solitary reach of CR-730 as it traverses the northern drainages. The distribution of springs, including Allen Spring, highlights the critical importance of isolated water points in this arid Nevada territory.
