Middle Draw Reservoir serves as a central hydrological landmark in this high-elevation corner of Elko County, Nevada. The landscape is defined by a network of seasonal drainage patterns, where Winters Cr and Threemile Cr descend from the surrounding upland ridges toward the reservoir. The topography across townships T43N R48E and T42N R48E reveals the natural contours of the Great Basin watershed, including the upper reaches of Chimney Cr in the northwest. This 2014 survey documents the modern state of these remote water resources and the Public Land Survey System grid that organizes this vast grazing or mining territory, illustrating how water management remains the primary human imprint on this arid terrain.
