2014 Map of Double Mountain SE

About this map

The Adobe Range dominates this portion of Elko County, where high-desert drainage patterns define the land use. The N Fork Humboldt River carves through the central terrain, fed by numerous seasonal tributaries including Cottonwood Cr and Indian Cr. This 2014 survey documents a landscape primarily utilized for open-range ranching and grazing, as evidenced by named clearings like Coupling Field and Bassit Field near the headwaters of Beaver Cr. Local hydrology is marked by specific water sources such as Willow Spring and Warm Springs, which have long served as vital points in this arid environment. The map also captures the distinct transitions between the elevated Mallard Hills and the lower reaches of Willmings Valley and Bone Valley, providing a detailed record of the physical geography before contemporary changes.
