2012 Map of Melandco

About this map

Melandco sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Elko County, serving as a focal point where multiple drainage systems converge. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the winding paths of Bishop Creek and Willow Creek, which flow toward the Bishop Creek Reservoir in the southwest. This area illustrates the critical importance of water management in the Great Basin, with numerous named water sources like Bishop Spring and Ledge Spring dotted across the arid expanse.
