2018 Map of Hat Peak

About this map

Hat Peak rises above the high desert floor at the edge of Elko County, defining the topographic character of this remote borderland where Nevada meets Idaho. This survey reflects a landscape shaped by water management and grazing in an arid environment, where isolated landmarks like Garat Reservoir 610 and Reservation Fence Reservoir serve as critical points of reference. The boundary between Elko Co and Owyhee Co spans the northern reach of the map, marking the transition into Idaho. A scattering of seasonal water sources such as Butte Spring provides the few natural breaks in the vast open terrain, highlighting the sparse but essential network of springs and reservoirs used by local ranchers in the early 21st century.
