2014 Map of Holborn

About this map

Independence Valley serves as the central corridor of this Elko County landscape, flanked by the Windermere Hills to the northwest and the Pequop Mountains to the east. Small settlements and specialized locations such as Holborn, Fenelon, and the remote Holborn Field are tied together by the transport infrastructure crossing this high-desert basin. The presence of numerous water sources, including Wolfman Spring, Ralphs Spring, and Mud Spring, indicates the vital importance of reliable water in this arid region. Several drainages, most notably Independence Cr and Deadman Cr, cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns from the surrounding peaks into the valley floor. The map also delineates several township and range boundaries, such as t39n r64e and t38n r65e, reflecting the formal division of these public lands.
