2012 Map of Fivemile Gulch

About this map

Old Winecup Ranch and the Rancho Grande sit within this sparsely settled landscape along the winding course of Goose Creek. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Trout Creek, Piney Creek, and Bottom Creek, which cut through the high desert environment of Elko County. Water sources are critical identifiers here, with numerous named points such as Whitey Davis Spring, Buck Springs, and Sand Spring providing essential orientation in a region dominated by sagebrush and drainage basins. Sugar Loaf Peak rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding flats and the eponymous Fivemile Gulch. Human infrastructure is light, represented primarily by the unpaved corridor of Goose Creek Rd, which tracks the primary waterway through the quadrangle.
