About this map

Devils Armchair dominates the high-elevation drainage system of northern Elko County, where the headwaters of the Beaver Creek system carve through the high plateau. This landscape is defined by its water sources, from the prominent East Fork Beaver Creek and West Fork Beaver Creek to isolated mountain water points like Coupling Spring and Rimrock Spring.

Land use in this part of Nevada is reflected in isolated clearings like Mexican Field, situated near the confluence of Cabin Creek and the East Fork. The topography rises sharply toward the northern boundary at Lookout Mountain and along the western edge at Rim Rock. These geographic markers provide essential context for understanding the early 21st-century hydrological and topographical state of this high-country region, illustrating the intricate network of seasonal flows including Summit Creek and Double Mountain Creek.
