1984 Map of Palomino Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Spruce Mountain dominates the northern landscape of this Elko County region, its high peaks and deep drainage systems defining the high-desert terrain. To the southwest, the lower elevations of Palomino Ridge provide a distinct contrast in the local topography. This 1984 provisional survey captures the area during a period of industrial utility, primarily marked by several Borrow Pit excavations scattered across the flats and slopes. These features suggest the practical needs of road maintenance and local construction in a remote part of Nevada. The map is primarily a study of natural landforms, showing the intricate network of washes and canyons that carve through the mountain range, illustrating the rugged character of the Great Basin during the late twentieth century.
