2021 Map of Palomino Well

About this map

Goshute Pass serves as a prominent geographic gateway in the high-desert landscape of Elko County, marking a transit point across the terrain. This 2021 survey of the Palomino Well quadrangle illustrates the sparse but critical infrastructure of the Great Basin, dominated by the long stretch of Butte Valley Rd and BLm Rd 1526. The map details a transition from the elevated pass down toward the valley floor, where seasonal drainage is represented by Rogers Cr. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t30n r63e and t29n r62e, provides a framework for understanding land management and historical grazing or mining allotments in this arid region. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the area's primary character as open range and backcountry transit corridor.
