1987 Map of Deep Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Wilson Peak dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Elko County, marking a high point in a complex network of canyons and ridgelines. The area shows clear evidence of resource extraction and transit at the IL Summit, where several unimproved roads and trails converge. The presence of the Lime Mountain Mine and a nearby Gravel Pit indicates the industrial activity that sustained local operations in this corner of Nevada. Water sources are critical here, with Mud Spring and Warm Spring Creek feeding into the larger drainage systems. The map traces the winding paths of Deep Creek and Chicken Creek, illustrating how the terrain’s verticality shapes the flow of seasonal water through Wilson Canyon and Long Hollow. This survey provides a precise view of the geographic isolation and geological character of the region as it was documented in the late 1980s.
