2018 Map of Henry

About this map

Henry sits at a geographic crossroads in northeastern Nevada, where the drainage of Salmon Falls Cr meets the northern reaches of the Granite Range. This high-desert landscape is defined by the convergence of several major waterways, including Jakes Cr and Knoll Cr, which carve through the basin floor. The terrain transitions from the plateau of Big Devils Table in the west to the prominent peak of China Mtn in the east. Modern travel follows the path of Route 93, a corridor through the Salmon River Range that likely mirrors older historic routes. Small water sources like Sagehen Spring and named geographic features such as Thompson Gulch and Blue Jay Gulch suggest a history of seasonal ranching and land use across the wide-open spaces of Elko County.
