2021 Map of Devils Pass

About this map

Gollaher Mtn and the northern reaches of the Toana John Mountains define this high-desert terrain in Elko County. The landscape is characterized by a network of seasonal water sources and named drainages that imply a history of range use and livestock movement through the Great Basin. Water features such as Moonshine Spring, Crooked Spring, and Boulder Spring are critical landmarks in this arid environment, providing reliable points of reference between the higher elevations and the lower draws. Natural corridors like Devils Pass provide transit through the varied topography, while the winding courses of Devils Cr and Badger Cr demonstrate the complex drainage patterns of the region's foothills. The presence of features like Big Draw and Mustang Draw underscores the remote, equestrian character of the territory.
