Wildcat Peak anchors this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada, where the drainage systems of Spring Gulch and Lion Canyon define the area's geography. The map reveals a reliance on isolated water sources typical of the Great Basin, noting several distinct sites including Spring Gulch Spring, Choke Cherry Spring, and the singularly named Lone Choke Cherry Spring. Transportation is limited to the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where the Alt 93 highway cuts a long, straight path across the terrain. This USGS survey documents the land as it existed in 2012, highlighting the sparse infrastructure and the natural network of washes and canyons that characterize this part of Elko County.
