About this map

The Medicine Range dominates the western portion of this 1984 survey, characterized by high peaks and high-desert drainage patterns. In the eastern half, the landscape transitions into the flat expanse of Butte Valley, where the terrain levels out significantly. This section of Elko County is marked by its isolation, with a network of 4 WD tracks providing the primary means of navigating the high ground and valley floor.

Functional infrastructure for ranching or land management is visible through labels like a Corral and a Tank Ww, indicating how the land was utilized during the 1980s. Water sources are critical in this environment, evidenced by several Spring and Springs locations, as well as a Dry Lake in the southeast. The geography is further defined by The Narrows, a distinct topographical feature where the range meets the valley floor.
