2021 Map of Ninemile Mountain SW

About this map

Leach Range terrain dominates the northeastern portion of this quadrangle in Elko County, where high ridges overlook a complex system of seasonal drainages. These arid landscapes are defined by deep cuts such as Fivemile Draw and Twentyone Mile Draw, which reveal the natural erosion patterns of the Great Basin. The presence of North Spring and Kane Canyon highlights the critical, though sparse, water sources that have historically dictated movement and land use in this corner of Nevada. Toward the south, Ives Pass serves as a notable topographic landmark, situated between high-elevation contours that reach above 7,000 feet. This 2021 survey illustrates a largely undeveloped expanse, primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of t40n r67e and t39n r67e.
