1982 Map of Ferber Peak NW

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Badlands terrain dominates this 1982 map of the Ferber Peak NW region, where the intricate network of erosional features provides a clear picture of the arid drainage patterns in eastern Elko County. This area of Nevada is defined by a landscape of high-elevation relief and seasonal watercourses, navigated primarily by 4wd routes that snake through the canyons and across the ridges. Evidence of human activity in this secluded environment is sparse, centered on small-scale ranching and utility infrastructure. A solitary Corral serves as a reminder of the region's grazing history, while a Radio Tower atop a high ridge signifies the modern necessity of communications across these expansive basins. The map captures the balance between the natural geological forces of the Great Basin and the minimal, functional imprints left by those working the land.
