2014 Map of Knoll Mountain

About this map

Knoll Mtn and the western edge of the H D Range define this high-desert landscape in Elko County, where water sources were the primary landmarks for early travelers and ranchers. This 2014 survey captures a network of isolated water points, including Tumbling T Spring, Black Rock Spring, and the curiously named Coyote Hole. The terrain is marked by deep erosional features like Bloody Gulch and Primrose Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the Little Primrose Dam Reservoir. This map illustrates the vital importance of springs in the Great Basin, where named locations like CCC Spring hint at 20th-century conservation and range management efforts. The landscape remains largely open, characterized by broad drainage basins such as Eagle Flat and Eagle Draw.
