2015 Map of Flowery Lake

About this map

Pequop Mountains dominate the central landscape of this Elko County region, serving as a high-altitude divider between two distinct basins. To the west lies the edge of Independence Valley, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the Goshute Valley, where the intermittent Flowery Lake sits as a terminal drainage point. The settlement at Hogan is positioned near the northern boundary, highlighting a sparse human footprint centered on essential transit corridors. Movement through this high-desert terrain is dictated by natural gaps such as Flower Pass and Flowery Lake Pass, which connect the disparate valleys. The road network, including Shafter Rd and Decoy Rd, follows these natural contours, illustrating how the topography of Twin Peaks and Ninemile Canyon has historically funneled travel through this part of the Great Basin.
