2012 Map of Ferber Peak NW

About this map

Little White Horse Hills dominates the western landscape of this Elko County region, providing a significant topographic anchor for the surrounding high desert. This 2012 U.S. Geological Survey study documents the drainage patterns through Ferber Wash, where seasonal water courses shape the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map is defined by its network of local and 4WD roads that navigate the arid terrain, illustrating the modern access routes into this corner of Nevada. While the area remains largely undeveloped, the precise mapping of these few named landmarks and the winding path of Ferber Wash offers critical context for understanding the hydrology and land use in this specific section of the Great Basin.
