2018 Map of Decoy

About this map

Goshute Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Elko County, where the topography is defined by the vast, open basin floor. The settlement of Decoy stands as a focal point in the southwestern portion of the sheet, connected to the wider region by Decoy Rd. The map reveals a sparse infrastructure typical of the Great Basin, where land management and transportation are primarily facilitated by utility routes like RR Maintenance Rd. Surveyed in the 21st century, the map uses township and range boundaries—including t33n r66e and t32n r67e—to organize a terrain where water and prominent landmarks are few, emphasizing the isolation of rural Nevada outposts.
