2014 Map of Decoy

About this map

Goshute Valley dominates the landscape of this high-desert region on the border of Elko County. The map focuses on the small settlement of Decoy, situated at the junction of local transit routes in a vast basin defined by geometric township and range lines. The presence of the Railroad Maintenance Rd running north-south indicates the critical role of rail infrastructure in navigating and maintaining this remote stretch of Nevada. Beyond the primary access of Decoy Rd, the terrain remains largely open, characterized by the expansive flats of the valley floor and minimal development, preserving the spatial layout of the Great Basin's rural outposts in the early 21st century.
