2018 Map of Hardy Creek

About this map

Goshute Valley defines this high-desert basin in eastern Elko County, where the landscape is shaped by long north-south drainages and the expansive flatlands of the Great Basin. The hydrology of the area is primarily defined by the seasonal flow of Hardy Cr and its tributary Nanny Cr, which descend from the eastern highlands toward the valley floor. The map highlights the vast scale of the Public Land Survey System grids, showing the intersection of several townships including t36n r66e and t35n r67e. In the northern portion of the quadrangle, transportation infrastructure is marked by the presence of Alt 93 and Interstate 80, indicating this area's role as a transit corridor through the Nevada wilderness. This 2018 survey provides a precise look at the contemporary topography and drainage patterns before they are further impacted by regional water use or climate shifts.
