About this map

Ferguson Mtn dominates the central landscape of this Elko County quadrangle, situated within a high-elevation environment defined by the eastern slopes of the Goshute Mountains. The 2021 survey illustrates a desert terrain where water is the primary geographic driver, marked by numerous named water sources including Ferguson Springs, Felt Spring, and Dead Cedar Spring. These localized springs are vital landmarks in an arid basin-and-range topography where ephemeral drainages like Felt Wash and Dead Cedar Wash carve through the foothills.

Transportation is primarily defined by the corridor of Alt 93, which provides the main north-south passage through the area, and the unpaved Ibapah Rd crossing the southern valley. The landscape is characterized by sharp relief and isolated canyons, such as Christmas Tree Canyon and Felt Canyon. For researchers and geologists, the map provides a clear record of the modern hydrography and terrain as cataloged by the U.S. Geological Survey.
