2012 Map of Elko East

About this map

The Humboldt River and its meandering path dominate the northern portion of this Nevada landscape, where the eastern reaches of Elko expand into the surrounding hills. This 2012 topographic survey details a high-desert environment defined by essential water management, including several named catchments such as Dewar Reservoir, Moffat Reservoir, and the Lamoille Highway Reservoir. The infrastructure of the area is anchored by the Elko East Interchange, facilitating movement between the urban center and the residential subdivisions spreading toward the Elko Hills. Significant natural drainages like Tenmile Creek and Mitchell Creek cut through the terrain south of the Elko Summit, illustrating the complex hydrology required to sustain this Great Basin community. Notable landmarks like the Landmark Letter on the hillside and Burner Basin Spring provide specific points of reference for local historians tracing the modern development of the region.
