2021 Map of Dairy Valley

About this map

China Jim Mtn anchors this high-desert landscape where the Goose Creek Mountains meet the Nevada-Utah border. The terrain is defined by a series of basins and canyons, including Kilgore Basin, Monte Basin, and Long Canyon, which channel seasonal water through a network of small creeks like Dairy Valley Cr and Toms Cabin Cr. A notable concentration of named water sources, such as State Line Spring, China Jim Spring, and Willow Spring, indicates the critical importance of these points in a region otherwise characterized by arid drainages and the dramatic Narrows of Dairy Valley. The survey precisely delineates the boundary between Elko County, Nevada, and Box Elder County, Utah, showing how the jurisdictional line cuts directly across the complex topography of ridges and springs.
