About this map

Wildcat Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this eastern Elko County landscape, where the high ridges of the Goshute Mountains descend into the wide expanse of the Goshute Valley. The area is characterized by its vital water sources, including Spring Gulch Spring, Serviceberry Spring, and the high-elevation Choke Cherry Spring. These springs have historically supported ranching and transit through this basin-and-range environment.

Transportation is defined by the corridor of Alt 93, which cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the terrain, from the steep walls of Lion Canyon to the broad course of Felix Wash. This 2021 survey details the land management divisions across several townships, illustrating how the modern rural infrastructure and water rights continue to shape this portion of the Morgan Basin.
