Midas sits at the northeastern edge of this Elko County quadrangle, a settlement defined by the high-elevation terrain of the Nevada desert. The landscape is dominated by significant geographic rises including Jake Creek Mtn and the Owyhee Bluffs, which overlook a complex network of seasonal drainage systems. Water sources such as Midas Cr, Summit Cr, and Clover Cr carve through the basins, leading toward the broad expanse of Squaw Valley in the south. For those researching local history, the Midas Cemetery is clearly marked just north of the townsite along NV 18. This survey details the remote infrastructure of the region, specifically CR-724, which serves as a primary artery through the high country past Horseshoe Mtn.
