2018 Map of Santa Renia Fields

About this map

Santa Renia Fields occupies a high-elevation basin in Northern Nevada, defined by the drainage patterns of several seasonal watercourses. The Santa Renia Mountains dominate the northwestern sector of the map, rising above the surrounding flats. This landscape is characterized by its isolation, with the drainage of Alkali Cr and Squaw Cr carving distinct paths through the terrain. To the south, Round Mtn stands as a prominent topographical landmark near the winding course of Bell Cr. The area is largely defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, which segments the open range of Elko County. The topography here suggests a high-desert environment where water is the primary architect of the land, visible in the many draws such as Antelope Draw that cut across the fields.
