About this map

Coupling Field and Bassit Field occupy the northern reaches of this Elko County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the rugged elevations of the Adobe Range and the Mallard Hills. The hydrological network is dominated by the N Fork Humboldt River, which draws from numerous tributaries including Beaver Cr, Horse Cr, and Cottonwood Cr. This area is characterized by the distinct physical separation of drainage basins, seen in the transition from Willming Valley to Bone Valley. The presence of isolated water sources like Warm Springs and Willow Spring highlights the critical importance of reliable water in this arid Nevada environment, serving as vital landmarks for navigation and land use throughout the region's ranching and migratory history.
