About this map

Peko Peak and the surrounding Peko Hills dominate this high-desert terrain in northeastern Nevada. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of the N Fork Humboldt River, which carves through the western edge of the quadrangle near the prominent Devils Gate formation. This gap in the topography suggests a natural corridor for movement, supported by the presence of Devils Gate Rd tracing the river's path.

Creek beds such as Pole Cr, Allen Cr, and Gopher Cr branch out from the central elevations, including the Mallard Hills in the northeast. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, with several township lines meeting in this sparsely settled region. This 2014 survey captures the area's transition between steep peaks and the broader basins typical of the Great Basin, where water features like Winter Cr are central to understanding the local geography.
