2015 Map of Hanks Creek NE

About this map

Hanks Creek and its seasonal drainage network define this high-altitude corner of Elko County, Nevada. The terrain is structured around the hydrological confluence of S Fork Hanks Creek, Conners Creek, and the topographic depression of Union Spring Draw. This 2015 survey reveals a landscape almost entirely defined by its hydrography and the Public Land Survey System grid, with large sections of township and range boundaries such as t41n r59e and t42n r58e clearly delineated. The lack of modern road infrastructure or named settlements highlights the area's preservation as an open rangeland or wilderness area, where water sources are the primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
