2018 Map of Currie

About this map

Currie serves as the primary point of reference in this high-desert landscape of Elko County, where the infrastructure of the Great Basin is defined by sparse roads and seasonal drainage. The settlement sits at the intersection of several significant backcountry routes, including Mizpah Rd and Victoria Mine Back Rd, the latter suggesting the area's historical ties to regional mining operations. The topography is shaped by the Currie Hills and the deep incision of Currie Canyon to the east, providing a clear picture of the land's natural drainage via Nelson Cr and Phalen Cr. This survey illustrates the relationship between these early transit corridors and the local terrain, reflecting the isolation and functional layout of a Nevada range-and-basin outpost in the modern era.
