About this map

Snake Mountains terrain dominates this corner of Elko County, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the prominent peak of Loomis Mtn and the sprawling Loomis Pasture. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal drainages and permanent water sources essential for livestock and wildlife in this part of Nevada. Notable water features include Willow Springs and Cold Spring, which feed into various branches like the N Fork Willow Cr and S Fork Willow Cr.

The presence of numerous named creeks, such as Loomis Cr, Bull Camp Cr, and Burnt Cr, suggests a landscape long utilized for open-range grazing. The absence of modern roads or developed settlements underscores the high-desert character of the region. This survey captures the detailed topography of the basins and ridges, providing a clear record of the traditional land divisions and natural landmarks that orient ranchers and researchers in this interior mountain range.
