About this map

Currie Gardens lies at the base of the eastern slopes of the Cherry Creek Range in this high-desert Nevada landscape. This modern survey illustrates the vital importance of water sources in the arid Steptoe Valley, where numerous isolated water points such as Thompson Springs, Moonshine Spring, and Mustang Springs are documented across the terrain. The landscape is characterized by its dramatic transitions from the alluvial fans of the valley floor to the prominent rising heights of Palomino Ridge.

Logistical access to this remote portion of Elko County is primarily via unpaved routes like Cottonwood Canyon Rd and the Mizpah Rd. Drainage patterns are defined by seasonal watercourses including McDermid Cr and Phalen Cr, which flow through the basins. The map also records the extensive public land survey system grid, reflecting the long-standing cadastral organization of the region into townships and ranges.
