About this map

The Adobe Range dominates the topography of this corner of Elko County, where high-altitude drainages feed the primary waterway. The North Fork Humboldt River carves through the central terrain, joined by numerous seasonal and perennial flows including Cottonwood Creek and Beaver Creek. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts like the Cotant Ranch and Bassit Field, reflecting the ranching character of the high desert during the early 1970s. Connectivity across these ridges is maintained by a network of unimproved routes and Jeep Trails, which follow the natural contours of the land toward local landmarks such as Cotant. The convergence of the East Fork and West Fork at the northern edge of the sheet illustrates the complex hydrology that sustains this Nevada landscape.
