About this map

Morgan Hill and the surrounding Peko Hills define this high-desert landscape in Elko County, where seasonal drainage patterns and modern residential development meet the riparian corridor of the Humboldt River. The southern portion of the map reveals a systematic grid of streets named for waterfowl, including Mallard St, Canvas Back Ave, and Spoonbill Ave, illustrating the expansion of residential tracts north of the Interstate 80 corridor.

Hydrological features like Smith Cr and Spring Cr flow from the higher elevations of Peko Peak toward the river valley, while Warm Springs indicates the geothermal activity characteristic of the region. Near the river, the landscape levels out into Dennis Flats, providing a clear view of the transition from the high peaks of the north to the vital transportation and water artery that has guided movement through northern Nevada for generations.
