About this map

Ninemile Mtn and the surrounding high desert of northeast Nevada are defined by a complex network of ridges and drainages that shaped early travel routes through the region. This 2018 survey detail shows the elevation changes of Ninemile Ridge and Tony Mtn, where the terrain drops into significant topographic breaks such as Twentyone Mile Draw and Fivemile Draw.

The landscape's hydraulic history is visible in the deeply carved paths of Kane Canyon and Wildhorse Canyon, which lead toward the southern edge of the quadrangle and the Leach Range. This area of Elko County is primarily characterized by its lack of modern development, preserving the original surveying grid of Townships such as t41n r66e and t42n r67e that remain the primary landmarks across the basin and range province.
