About this map

The high desert hydrology of northern Nevada defines this section of the state along the Humboldt and Elko county line. The landscape is carved by a network of drainage systems, including the headwaters of Kenny Cr and Tall Corral Cr, which originate in the complex topography of the Independence Mountains. Water sources are vital landmarks in this arid environment, represented by named features like Kelly Creek Spring and the converging flows of Twentymile Cr and Spring Cr in the northeast.

Kelly Creek Rd serves as the primary artery through this territory, tracing the path of Kelly Cr and connecting various canyons. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the public land survey system, with townships like t40n r44e and t39n r43e clearly delineated. The map is essential for understanding the seasonal water distribution that has supported ranching and transit in this part of the Great Basin for generations.
