2012 Map of Kittridge Springs

About this map

Kittridge Springs serves as a vital water source in this high-elevation basin within the Adobe Range of Elko County. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Sixteenmile Creek and Eightmile Creek, which flow through the arid terrain. Human presence is concentrated near the southern edge of the quadrangle, where the Kittridge Ranch and the mouth of Kittridge Canyon are accessed by a nascent grid of residential streets such as 8th St and 11th St. The map illustrates a transitional area where agricultural ranching interests meet early residential development near Adobe Heights Dr, all set against the backdrop of significant topographic features like Sherman Peak and the high desert canyons that channel runoff from the surrounding peaks.
