2021 Map of High Bald Peaks NE
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Medicine Range dominates the western portion of this Elko County landscape, giving way to the high desert basin of Butte Valley to the east. This 2021 survey documents the remote transition from mountainous terrain into the valley floor, where Butte Valley Rd serves as the primary artery through the sagebrush and scrub. Sparse water sources define the area's hydrology, including the seasonal drainage of Little Tomhicken Cr and the more prominent Butte Cr. A distinctive geological constriction known as The Narrows provides a clear landmark where the valley floor tightens against the rising slopes, illustrating the characteristic Great Basin topography that has dictated travel routes and land use in this part of Nevada for generations.
