2021 Map of Independence Valley NE

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The high desert terrain of the Pequop Mountains dominates this Elko County landscape, where the transition between elevated ridges and the Goshute Valley floor is marked by significant topographical relief. This area serves as a notable corridor for western migration, evidenced by the presence of the California Trl which cuts across the southeastern corner of the map. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, with Big Springs and Big Springs Ranch providing a rare focal point for activity near the base of the mountains. Several drainages, including Sixmile Cr and Hardy Cr, define the local watershed alongside deep incisions like Mahogany Canyon and Spud Canyon. The map reveals the intricate network of canyons and springs, such as Long Canyon Spring, that have historically sustained ranching and travel in this remote part of Nevada.
