2012 Map of East of Bailey Mountain

About this map

Huntington Creek winds through this high desert region of Elko County, defining a landscape shaped by seasonal water and the slow erosion of the Great Basin. This 2012 survey shows a sparse, ranching-oriented network where development is restricted to a few isolated tracks crossing the drainage basins of Robinson Creek and its southern fork. The confluence of Twin Creek and South Fork Twin Creek in the eastern portion of the map highlights a typical high-altitude hydrology where intermittent flows converge in wide valleys. To the west, the watershed of Indian Creek and North Fork Indian Creek reveals the importance of reliable water sources like Little Mud Spring in an otherwise arid environment. The map captures a quiet, rural character dominated by natural drainages and the expansive Cottonwood Draw.
