2018 Map of Elko East

About this map

Elko expansion during the late 2010s is evident in the residential street networks pushing east into the Elko Hills. This portion of northeastern Nevada is defined by a complex water management system, including the Elko Summit Reservoir Number One and Dewar Reservoir, which support the arid high-desert environment. The Humboldt River and the Union Pacific RR serve as the primary east-west corridor, following the natural break in the terrain between the hills and the South Fork Valley. Local water sources such as Burner Basin Spring and Mitchell Cr provide crucial points of reference for the surrounding grazing lands and public tracts. The map also captures the varied topography of Burner Basin and the prominence of Elko Summit, showing how transportation and infrastructure adapt to the basin-and-range geography.
