2021 Map of Nadine Butte

About this map

Nadine Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape situated along the northern border of Nevada where Humboldt County meets Elko County. The terrain transitions from the open expanses of Cathcart Flat and Taylor Flat in the north toward the edges of the Owyhee Desert in the southeast. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparsely developed region defined by the seasonal drainage patterns of Willow Cr, Calico Cr, and Raven Cr. The map captures the meeting point of several townships and the state line shared with Idaho and Oregon, reflecting the complex administrative boundaries of the Great Basin. While few man-made structures are present, the detailed contour work reveals the intricate landforms and drainage networks that dictate the movement of water and livestock through these arid flats.
