2021 Map of Midas SW

About this map

Elko Co serves as the backdrop for this topographic study of northern Nevada’s high desert terrain. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the flat, open valleys of the western half contrast sharply with the rising mountainous slopes to the east. The primary drainage through this arid corridor is Evans Cr, which cuts through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The map reflects the systematic organization of the American West, meticulously marking township and range boundaries such as t38n r44e and T37n R45e. This data reveals the vast, open nature of the region, where water sources like Evans Cr dictated the movement and settlement patterns of ranching and mining interests throughout the county’s history.
