2021 Map of Haystack Peak

About this map

Haystack Peak rises as a prominent landmark within the northern reaches of Elko County, where the high-altitude terrain transitions into the wide expanse of the Owyhee Desert. This 2021 survey illustrates a stark, open landscape defined by deep relief and seasonal water sources, most notably at McFadden Spring near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. To the south, the jagged contours of Castle Ridge overlook the surrounding basins, providing a clear picture of the region's complex geology and drainage patterns.
