2018 Map of High Bald Peaks NE

About this map

The Medicine Range dominates the western portion of this 2018 survey, characterized by significant elevation changes that transition into the wide expanse of Butte Valley to the east. This high-desert landscape in Elko County reveals a remote network of drainage systems, including the seasonal flow of Little Tomhicken Cr and the more prominent Butte Cr, which meanders through the northeast. A notable geographical constriction occurs at The Narrows, where the valley floor tightens before opening back up toward the south. Historically significant for its open-range characteristics, the area is accessible primarily via Butte Valley Rd, which tracks the eastern foothills. The map provides a detailed look at the cadastral grid across multiple townships, including t27n r61e, which highlights how public land surveys organized this expansive Great Basin terrain for grazing and resource management.
