2021 Map of East of Jackpot

About this map

California Trail National Back Country Byway traverses the southern half of this landscape, marking a modern path over a deeply significant historical route for westward migration. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Toana John Mountains in the southeast, where seasonal drainages like Cedar Cr originate. The northern portion of the map is intersected by the Nevada-Idaho state line, dividing the high desert plateau where Shoshone Cr flows past Warm Springs. This area is heavily influenced by its water sources, with numerous springs such as Hole Spring and Deer Springs providing critical points of survival in an arid environment. The presence of Lost Canyon and several creeks, including Cow Cr and Willow Cr, illustrates the drainage patterns through the Elko County highlands just east of the Jackpot area.
