2014 Map of Little Rock Creek

About this map

Hot Springs bubble up in the southwestern corner of this high-desert landscape, where a dense network of seasonal drainages converges. The drainage pattern here is particularly intricate, with Little Rock Cr, Coyote Cr, and Soldier Cr all flowing south toward the larger Rock Cr. This area of Elko County is defined by its water-carved geography, most notably where Toe Jam Cr cuts through the terrain below the prominent Willow Creek Ridge. The map details a region dominated by public land management, where township and range lines like t40n r48e provide the only formal structure across the open range. Researchers will find a landscape that remains largely undeveloped, preserving the original watercourses and topographical contours that have dictated movement through this part of Nevada for generations.
