2018 Map of Soldier Cap

About this map

Soldier Cap rises as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape in Elko County, marking a terrain defined by significant relief and vital water sources. This 2018 survey documents a region of large-scale land divisions, including portions of t41n r48e and t41n r49e, which are typical of the expansive ranching and public land tracts in northeastern Nevada. Water is the critical resource here, with Mahogany Spring providing a rare perennial point of interest among the ephemeral drainage systems of Trout Cr and Chimney Cr. The map illustrates the complex topography surrounding these drainages, providing a detailed record of the ridgelines and canyons that dictate movement and land use in this part of the state.
