2021 Map of Hot Springs Creek

About this map

Hot Springs and the geological formation known as Devils PunchBowl anchor this high-desert landscape in the northeastern reaches of Nevada. The drainage of Hot Springs Cr flows toward the eastern boundary of the sheet, where it meets the Marys River corridor. This area reflects the remote ranching and aviation history of Elko County, evidenced by the Marys River Ranch Airport situated near the riverbanks. High points such as Pole Canyon Creek Summit and water sources like Carlson Spring suggest a terrain where water is the primary driver of human activity and settlement patterns. The primary transit route, the Charleston-Deeth Co Rd, provides access across the northern sections of the terrain, connecting isolated springs and drainages like S Fork Hanks Cr across the high basin floor.
