About this map

The Dolly Varden Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in eastern Elko County, Nevada. This region is defined by its seasonal hydrology, where numerous water sources like Mizpah Springs, Joe Moore Spring, and Black Rock Spring provide critical relief across the arid terrain. The topography is anchored by prominent elevations including Sharp Peak and Bald Peak, which overlook a network of drainage patterns and canyons.

Evidence of human movement through this remote territory is primarily visible in the winding path of Millick Canyon Rd in the south and the tracks leading toward Willow Canyon in the northwest. Other water points such as Summit Spring, North Creek Spring, and Deer Spring suggest the essential infrastructure required for ranching or travel in this part of the Great Basin during the early 21st century.
