2018 Map of Spring Gulch

About this map

Wildcat Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, overlooking the wide expanse of the Goshute Valley to the west. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by stark elevation changes between the Goshute Mountains and the lower basin floor. Life in this arid region is centered around critical water points such as Spring Gulch Spring, Choke Cherry Spring, and Lone Choke Cherry Spring, which have long served as vital resources for travelers and livestock in Elko County. The map details the transit corridor of Alt 93 as it skirts the eastern edge of the mountains, passing near drainage features like Lion Canyon and the Pelt Wash. The inclusion of the Morgan Basin provides geographic context for the surrounding wilderness, illustrating the complex topography of Nevada's Great Basin province.
