2012 Map of Midas SW

About this map

Guard Corral stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Elko County, marking a site of human activity in an otherwise vast expanse of open range. The drainage of Evans Creek defines the northern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the subtle water systems that govern life in this part of Nevada. A sparse network of roads and four-wheel-drive trails crisscrosses the terrain, revealing the modern infrastructure required to navigate and manage this expansive territory. This 2012 survey captures the area in a state of quietude, primarily serving as grazing land or transitional territory between larger geographic landmarks.
