2018 Map of Spruce Mountain NW

About this map

Clover Valley defines the central landscape of this Elko County quadrangle, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by seasonal drainage systems. The map traces the historical movement through the region via Old Sprucemont Rd and Old Hwy 93, routes that reflect the area's mining and transit legacy. Hydrological features like Three Spring Brook and Spring Cr highlight the scarce but critical water sources that dictated early settlement and ranching patterns in this part of northeastern Nevada. This 2018 survey provides a modern topographical record of the section lines and township boundaries that still organize this basin-and-range environment.
