2012 Map of Snowstorm Mountain

About this map

Snowstorm Mountain and the surrounding Snowstorm Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where high ridges and deep drainages define the basin-and-range topography. The area is characterized by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways that feed toward the South Fork Little Humboldt River in the southeast. Notable high points like Kelly Creek Mountain and Crows Nest overlook sprawling reaches such as Snowstorm Flat, illustrating the vast, unpopulated character of the Elko County backcountry in the early twenty-first century.
