2021 Map of Mizpah

About this map

Steptoe Valley and the high ridges of the Pequop Mountains define this high-desert region of Elko County, where historical land use is marked by a network of public land access routes and isolated settlements. The site of Mizpah sits at the intersection of Bureau of Land Management roads and the Goshute Valley Rd, providing a clear record of the area's twentieth-century transportation corridors. Ephemeral hydrology is represented by Nelson Cr, which cuts through the valley floor toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2021 update preserves the exact Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t30n r64e, t30n r65e, t29n r64e, and t29n r65e, documenting the foundational cadastral grid that continues to organize this part of the Great Basin.
