2021 Map of Peterson Table West

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

South Fork Owyhee River carves a deep, winding canyon through the high plateau of Elko County, creating a sharp contrast against the surrounding tablelands. This 2021 survey of the high desert environment showcases the stark geography of the Y P Desert, where narrow drainages like Fourmile Cr feed into the primary river system. The landscape is defined by elevated landforms such as Peterson Table, which rises above the canyon floor, and the expansive Twelvemile Flat to the south. The mapping reflects a region where water is the primary architect of the terrain, dictating the sparse infrastructure and the path of modern travel through this part of the Great Basin. Large sections of the map are defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for t46n r48e and t46n r49e, which organize this vast grazing and wilderness area.
