2014 Map of Morgan Hill

About this map

Humboldt River and its accompanying wetlands define the southeastern portion of this Elko County landscape, where the riparian corridor provides a stark contrast to the surrounding upland desert. In this 2014 survey, the lowland topography of Dennis Flats sits beneath the prominent heights of Peko Peak and the Peko Hills. The map captures a unique planned residential layout north of the river, characterized by a dense grid of streets named after waterfowl, including Mallard Ave, Canvasback Ave, and Ringneck Ave. These roads intersect with Red Barns road, signaling a transition from the drainage basins of Winter Cr and Smith Cr toward more modern land use. The hydrological network is further supported by Warm Springs and several ephemeral drainages like Spring Cr and Reed Cr, which illustrate the complex water distribution system of this high-elevation basin.
