2018 Map of Corral Lake

About this map

Corral Lake and its accompanying Corral Lake Reservoir serve as central landmarks in this high-desert region of Elko County. The landscape is defined by the elevation of Corral Lake Butte to the north and the expansive Owyhee Desert that stretches across the southern reaches of the map. This terrain is characterized by seasonal water systems, including the drainage of Wolf Cr, which illustrates the importance of water management and natural catchments in this part of Nevada. Sparse and specialized, the map highlights the geographic isolation of the area, punctuated primarily by these few named water and terrain features. It captures a specific intersection of natural topography and remote land use within the township and range system, providing a clear record of the region’s physical geography in the early 21st century.
