2021 Map of Holborn

About this map

Independence Valley serves as the central basin for this high-desert landscape, flanked by the prominent Pequop Mountains to the east and the Windermere Hills to the northwest. Modern infrastructure follows historical corridors, with the small settlements of Holborn and Fenelon positioned along the primary east-west transportation route that skirts the northern edge of the valley. The map reveals a reliance on scattered water sources across this arid basin, including Ralphs Spring, Wollmon Spring, and Upper Deadman Spring. The presence of Holborn Field near the drainage of Independence Cr highlights the localized human activity and land use within this Elko County interior. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns from the surrounding heights into the valley floor via features like Sheep Draw and Deadman Cr.
