2018 Map of Hanks Creek SW

About this map

Charleston-Deeth Co Rd serves as the primary artery through this high-elevation landscape in Elko County, Nevada. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage networks that originate near the Mallard Hills, including the headwaters of S Fork Hanks Cr and Pole Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a territory where water sources are vital landmarks, notably at Horse Creek Spring, Union Spring, and Union Spring Two. The mapping of these specific water points alongside Indian Cr and Cottonwood Cr reflects the ongoing importance of reliable springs for livestock and land management in this arid Great Basin environment. The grid-like division of public lands is clearly marked by the boundaries of T40N and T39N, framing a remote section of the county known for its high ridges and ephemeral stream beds.
