1986 Map of Elk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Elk Mountain dominates the center of this high-elevation landscape where Humboldt National Forest spans the border between Idaho and Nevada. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, where Ross Creek and Higgins Draw flow through the northwest while Willow Creek and North Creek carve paths through the eastern slopes. A trio of animal-named landmarks—Mahogany Elephant Butte, Red Elephant Butte, and White Elephant Butte—stand as distinct geological markers in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Human activity in this remote region is evidenced by the Twin Meadows Ranch in the northeast and scattered Prospects near O'Neil Creek, indicating the intersection of cattle ranching and mineral exploration. The map also captures the tri-county junction of Owyhee, Elko, and Twin Falls counties, a significant survey point for regional historians.
