2021 Map of Deep Creek

About this map

Deep Creek sits at the base of the Bull Run Mountains in northern Elko County, where the high desert meets steep elevations. The landscape is dominated by notable peaks such as Wilson Peak and Lime Mtn, with significant drainage systems including Sulphur Cr and Warm Spring Cr carving through the terrain. The presence of Mud Spring and Sage Spring suggests localized water sources critical to this arid environment. Transportation through the area relies on the Owyhee Rd, which skirts the base of the mountains and connects the settlement of Deep Creek to the surrounding range. The map illustrates a high-altitude ranching and mining environment, defined by landmarks like Wilson Canyon and the prominent IL Summit near the eastern boundary.
