1986 Map of Spruce Well

About this map

Spruce Well serves as a vital water source in this high-desert basin of Elko County, marking a landscape defined by industrial extraction and high-elevation terrain. This 1986 provisional survey captures the area during a period of active resource exploitation, evidenced by the presence of a Quarry, a Gravel Pit, and a Mine Shaft positioned near the rugged slopes. The survey area, labeled simply as Spruce in its northern reaches, shows a sparse network of unimproved roads and trails connecting these remote work sites. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, with the western and eastern edges of the quadrangle climbing toward prominent ridgelines while the central valley floor contains the primary transit routes and water infrastructure, including a designated WT landmark.
