About this map

Ferguson Mtn and the southern reaches of the Goshute Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems such as Felt Wash, which originates near Felt Spring and carves through Felt Canyon. Vital water sources like Ferguson Springs and Little Mud Spring provide the only breaks in the arid terrain, historically serving as crucial stops for travelers and livestock in Elko County.

Transportation through this isolated corridor is anchored by the route of Alt 93, which winds between the mountain peaks and lower elevations. To the south, Dead Cedar Rd follows the path of Dead Cedar Wash, passing Dead Cedar Spring and Christmas Tree Canyon. This survey captures the relationship between modern roadway infrastructure and the enduring natural springs that have dictated movement through these mountain passes for generations.
