2014 Map of Ravens Nest

About this map

The Piñon Range dominates this portion of the Great Basin, where high-elevation landmarks like Pine Mtn and Bunker Hill define the horizon. This 2014 survey captures a landscape primarily shaped by its hydrology, centered on the drainage systems of Ferdeljord Cr and Webb Cr. The map documents a scattered network of water sources essential for life in this arid environment, including Murdock Spring, Cherry Springs, and Stump Spring. The namesake settlement of Ravens Nest sits in the southeastern corner, while the boundary between Elko Co and Eureka Co cuts through the southwestern quadrant near Mill Cr. This map is particularly useful for understanding the transition between the valley floors and the steep ascents of Lee Canyon, providing a clear view of the complex topography of the range.
