2012 Map of Hubbard Basin

About this map

Hubbard Basin and its southern counterpart, Lower Hubbard Basin, anchor this high-desert landscape in Elko County. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as the flat-topped Little Devils Table and Big Devils Table, which rise above the surrounding drainage networks. Water is the primary driver of names here, with numerous isolated water sources like Leo Spring, Antelope Spring, and Dynamite Spring supporting life in a seemingly arid environment. The presence of Corner Reservoir and the Oneil Co Rd suggests a landscape utilized for ranching or land management in the early 21st century. High points including Black Mountain and Cold Springs Mountain overlook the drainage of Salmon Falls Creek and the meandering Dry Fork Jakes Creek in the western reaches of the quadrangle.
