2012 Map of Peko Peak

About this map

Peko Peak and the high desert terrain of Elko County define this landscape along the upper reaches of the North Fork Humboldt River. In this early twenty-first-century survey, the drainage patterns of the Great Basin are clearly visible, with Pole Creek, Allen Creek, and Winter Creek cutting through the arid territory. A notable topographic landmark, Devils Gate, sits west of the river, marking a distinctive natural passage in the local geography. Human infrastructure is sparse here, represented primarily by CO Hwy 747 in the northeastern quadrant, reflecting the remote ranching and open-range character of the region during this era.
