2021 Map of Medicine Spring

About this map

Ruby Valley and the northern reaches of the Medicine Range define this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Nevada. This 2021 survey details the topography of the Elko County backcountry, where the presence of Medicine Spring and Mud Spring provided vital water sources in a largely arid environment. The map highlights the sparse infrastructure of the region, anchored by the winding path of Medicine Spring Rd, which traverses the basin between the mountain slopes. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing township and range boundaries such as t29n r60e and t28n r61e. This cartographic record provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and elevation changes that shaped local movement and land use throughout the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
