2015 Map of Elko West

About this map

The Humboldt River carves through the heart of this Nevada landscape, anchoring the city of Elko as it expands toward the Adobe Range and Elko Hills. This 2015 survey documents the modern layout of the regional hub, showing the significant footprint of the Elko Regional Airport and the campus of Great Basin Coll. Geothermal features like Elko Hot Springs and the Hot Hole indicate the unique hydrology of the river valley, while the residential grids of Missouri Flat and new developments like Adobe Heights show the city's outward growth. For local historians, the map preserves the exact boundaries of the Elko City Cemetery and Masonic Cemetery, situated just north of the river's bend. Infrastructure such as the Fifth Street Wash Reservoir and Airport Ponds manage the drainage from the surrounding canyons including Dobe Canyon.
