2021 Map of Double Mountain

About this map

Double Mtn and the Bone Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Nevada, where water sources are the primary named landmarks. Numerous seasonal water points like Wagon Box Spring, McConnell Spring, and Cottonwood Spring are scattered across the terrain, indicating the importance of these sites for ranching and wildlife in a desert environment. The drainage network is anchored by Jakes Cr and the W Fork Beaver Cr, which carve through deep formations such as Dorsey Canyon and Water Canyon. The 2021 survey of this Elko County region shows a landscape defined by its topography and the essential life-sustaining springs, with very few man-made structures or developments present on the land.
