2021 Map of Lion Spring

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Goshute Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude corner of Elko County, where the steep ridgelines of the Goshute Mountains meet the broad expanse of the Goshute Valley. The landscape is defined by its verticality and the critical presence of isolated water sources in an otherwise arid environment. Names like Chokecherry Springs and Serviceberry Spring suggest the native flora that clusters around these rare riparian spots, while the namesake Lion Spring sits tucked into the drainages below Lion Canyon. The topography here is intricate, showing the transition from the high basin of Morgan Basin in the north to the distinctive volcanic or rocky prominence of Black Point at the southern boundary. This map captures a quintessential Great Basin landform where hydrology and elevation dictate the naming of every reliable spring and canyon.
