2020 Map of Judd Mountain

About this map

The Nevada Utah state line bisects this remote high-desert landscape where the Elko Co Box Elder Co boundary meets at the eastern edge of the Goose Creek Mountains. This 2020 survey documents a rugged corridor defined by significant topographic crossings like Deans Pass and Wagon Box Pass, which historically facilitated movement across the drainage divides. The water network is dominated by spring-fed systems, including the complex Triple Group Springs and the headwaters of Spring Cr, Bluff Cr, and NW Meadow Creek. Elevated features such as Judd Mtn and Meadow Butte Rd offer vantage points over deeply incised terrain, including Morse Canyon and Bluff Canyon. The presence of established routes like Dean Pass Rd and E Deans Pass Rd highlights the enduring importance of these passes for ranching and overland transit in this corner of the Great Basin.
