2018 Map of Singletree Creek

About this map

The Independence Mountains define the high-elevation landscape of this Elko County region, where the terrain drops away into a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. Lone Mtn stands as a prominent landmark in the northwest, feeding Lone Mountain Creek and Coon Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and grazing territory, evidenced by features like Green Cabin Meadows and Hunter Banks Field. These locations suggest a long history of seasonal land use in the high desert basins. Water sources are critical in this environment, with the flow of Singletree Creek, Susie Creek, and Mason Creek carving through the township and range sections. To the south, Monument Peak provides a southern anchor to the topography, overlooking the headwaters of Blue Basin Creek and the remote Lang Spring.
