About this map

Spring Creek dominates the northern reaches of this Elko County landscape, showcasing a dense residential street network that contrasts sharply with the open rangeland to the south. The suburban expansion of this planned community is evident in the detailed grid of roads like Spring Creek Pkwy and Country Club Pkwy, all situated near the Spring Creek Reservoir.

South of the residential development, the terrain transitions into a traditional ranching landscape defined by established holdings such as the Brennen Ranch, Bottari Ranch, and 6 Bar Ranch. This area is carved by numerous seasonal drainage systems, including Butterfield Cr and Rabbit Cr, which flow toward the Cottonwood Basin. Geographic landmarks like Seitz Canyon and the solitary Noon Rock provide vertical orientation in a region where water management is critical, as evidenced by the Dry Farm Reservoir and scattered springs like Big Spring and Basin Spring.
