About this map

The Cherry Creek Range dominates the eastern horizon of this high-desert landscape on the border of Elko and White Pine counties. This 2015 survey captures a region defined by its vital water sources and topographic transitions, where the mountain slopes descend into Butte Valley. Significant drainage systems like Paris Cr, Snow Cr, and Carry Cr carve through the terrain, supporting a network of named springs including Paris Spring, Petes Spring, and Box Spring.

The presence of Corral Canyon and Horse Canyon suggests the area's legacy of livestock and land management, while CR-784 provides the primary north-south transit through the valley. High-altitude landmarks such as Currie Summit and various seasonal features like Dry Reservoir illustrate the remote and arid character of this Great Basin environment, where every named water source like Paris Spring Number Five represents a critical landmark for local navigation and land use.
