About this map

Butte Valley and the steep eastern slopes of the Cherry Creek Range dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of Elko and White Pine counties. This modern topographic study reveals a complex network of seasonal drainages and vital water sources that sustain the region, including Ovehs Springs, Petes Spring, and the uniquely named Paris Spring Number Five. The rugged eastern terrain is carved by Horse Canyon and Corral Canyon, leading toward the high point at Currie Summit.

Transportation through this arid basin is defined by White Pine Co Road 21, which tracks north-south along the valley floor. Water management is evident through the presence of a Dry Reservoir near Paris Cr, reflecting the cyclical nature of hydration in the Great Basin. This map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, showing how land management continues to shape the use of the high Nevada plains.
