2014 Map of Palomino Well

About this map

Palomino Well sits at the heart of this high-desert Elko County landscape, where the terrain is defined by the transition from open basins to the rising elevations of Goshute Pass. The map captures a network of rural routes and primitive roads, including Cottonwood Canyon Rd and Cr-783, which provide access to this isolated corner of the state. These tracks follow the natural contours of the land, tracing the path toward seasonal water sources like Rogers Cr. The 2014 survey documents the enduring physical character of the Great Basin, where land use is marked by extensive public holdings and ranching heritage, as evidenced by the presence of Blm-1526. This topography highlights the sparse settlement patterns and the essential reliance on established wells and mountain passes for navigation across the eastern Nevada wilderness.
