2015 Map of Ola

About this map

Goshute Mountains topography dominates the southern reaches of this Elko County map, where several high-altitude water sources such as Blue Bell Spring and Elizabeth Spring are located. The small settlement of Ola is positioned on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a landmark near the intersection of the desert floor and the rising slopes. The terrain is characterized by large, natural depressions like Morris Basin in the north and Morgan Basin in the southwest, separated by steep ridges and deep cuts such as Erickson Canyon. This 2015 update by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern infrastructure of the area, including Landfill Rd, while documenting the persistent natural springs like Mud Spring and Hillside Spring that define the arid landscape's water network.
