2021 Map of Ola

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Goshute Mountains dominates this portion of Elko County, where water sources serve as the primary landmarks in an arid landscape. Small, scattered water points like Blue Bell Spring, Hillside Spring, Elizabeth Spring, and Mud Spring are critical features, indicating the sparse but vital hydrography of the Great Basin region. The settlement of Ola sits along a north-south transit corridor on the eastern edge of the mountains, while topographically significant areas such as Morris Basin and Morgan Basin define the western reaches of the quadrangle. Erickson Canyon cuts through the central heights, providing a natural drainage path toward the lower basins. This map illustrates the intersection of rugged public land management and the essential infrastructure of the modern West, noted by the presence of Landfill Rd near the eastern boundary.
