2014 Map of Lamoille

About this map

The settlement of Lamoille sits at the foot of the Ruby Mountains, where the agricultural lands of Lamoille Valley meet the high-elevation wilderness of the Humboldt National Forest. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of extreme verticality, dominated by deep glacial carving in Lamoille Canyon and Thomas Canyon. The map reveals the intricate water network essential to the region, showing Lamoille Creek and its many tributaries like Talbot Creek and Thorpe Creek descending from the peaks. To the southwest, the residential expansion of Spring Creek begins to appear, contrasting with the remote alpine environments of Lee Peak, Seitz Lake, and Griswold Lake. Family-named roads like Sustacha Drive and Dysart Drive provide specific geographic markers for genealogists tracing local land use and development patterns in this corner of Elko County.
