2021 Map of Mount Blitzen

About this map

The Tuscarora Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape in Elko County, where multiple peaks and drainages define a complex topographical network. Significant summits include Mt Neva, McCann Creek Mtn, and the namesake Mt Blitzen in the northeast. This 2021 survey illustrates the intricate watershed systems typical of the Great Basin, where seasonal watercourses such as Rock Cr, Toe Jam Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr carve deep paths through the high country. Historical land divisions are marked by the township and range lines of t40n r50e, t40n r51e, t39n r50e, and t39n r51e, reflecting the systematic surveying of Nevada's public lands. Distinctive landforms like Beard Hill, Castile Mtn, and Battle Mtn sit amidst several named canyons, including Sixmile Canyon and Big Cottonwood Canyon, providing a clear record of the region's diverse relief.
