2021 Map of Dry Canyon

About this map

Mine Mtn rises above the high desert floor of Elko County, marking a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and deep seasonal drainage systems. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Delano Mountains, where prominent landforms such as Round Top and the incisions of Dry Canyon and Division Canyon showcase the geological complexity of this Great Basin region. Water sources are scarce but critical to the topography, evidenced by the ephemeral paths of Boulder Cr and Rock Spring Cr in the north, and the presence of Cold Spring near the mountain base. This survey illustrates the intricate township and range grid system, including t45n r67e and t44n r68e, which divides this open range where mining history and high-altitude terrain converge.
