About this map

The high desert drainage systems of northern Nevada define this landscape where the Humboldt Co Elko Co line marks a remote territorial boundary. This map captures the intricate hydrology of the region, anchored by the Kelly Creek Spring and a series of ephemeral and perennial streams. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, including the winding Kenny Cr and Tall Corral Cr, which carve through the basins of the Great Basin.

Logistical access is limited to the Kelly Creek Rd, which provides the primary corridor through these expansive ranching and grazing lands. The map documents the specific geographic intersection of T40N and T39N, illustrating how water sources like Twentyone Cr and Rabbit Cr have historically dictated movement and land use across these arid highlands. This survey serves as a precise record of the natural water distribution essential for understanding the environmental history of the Nevada-Elko borderlands.
