About this map

Independence Valley provides a central corridor through this section of Elko County, flanked by the prominent Windermere Hills to the northwest and the Pequop Mountains to the southeast. The small settlements of Holborn and Fenelon are positioned along the primary transit route that bisects the valley floor, reflecting the traditional pattern of isolated Great Basin outposts linked by rail and road.

Hydrological features are sparse but critical in this arid landscape, with water sources such as Wollmon Spring, Ralphs Spring, and Upper Deadman Spring scattered near the mountain bases. The drainage of Deadman Cr and Independence Cr further defines the basin's geography. Researchers can also locate Holborn Field and follow the rugged topography of Sheep Draw as it descends from the surrounding highlands.
