2014 Map of Palomino Ridge

About this map

Spruce Mtn towers over this high-desert portion of Elko County, where the landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes and expansive drainage systems typical of the Great Basin. To the south, Palomino Ridge runs parallel to the valley floor, overlooking the curiously named Robbers Roost Draw. This territory is primarily managed by the Bureau of Land Management, as evidenced by the dense network of utility and access routes such as Blm Rd and Blm-1515 that crisscross the sagebrush-covered flats. The map illustrates the grid-based land organization across townships t30n r63e and t29n r64e, showing how transportation in this part of Nevada relies on these specialized access roads to connect the isolated mountain peaks with the lower basins.
