2018 Map of Ola

About this map

Ola stands as a primary point of reference in this arid Elko County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions from the high peaks of the Goshute Mountains down into the surrounding basins. The geography is defined by a series of critical water sources, including Blue Bell Spring, Hillside Spring, Elizabeth Spring, and Mud Spring, which have historically dictated the patterns of movement and occupation in this high-desert environment. These springs provide vital moisture for the area between Morris Basin to the north and Morgan Basin at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
