2018 Map of Ninemile Mountain SW

About this map

Leach Range terrain dominates this 2018 survey of Elko County, Nevada, where the high desert landscape is defined by its drainage systems and isolated water sources. Significant drainages like Fivemile Draw and Twentyone Mile Draw carve through the western and central portions of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of this arid region. To the east, the topography rises significantly toward Ives Pass and the rugged northern reaches of the range. Small but vital water points such as North Spring and Lewis Spring are identified, providing essential context for the historical movement of livestock or travelers through these high-elevation basins. This survey captures the region just as it appeared in the late 2010s, tracing the intersection of public land survey boundaries like t40n r67e with the physical landmarks of the Great Basin.
