2014 Map of Stag Mountain

About this map

Stag Mtn and the northern reaches of the Fox Creek Range anchor this high-elevation landscape in Elko County during the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainage systems including Stag Cr, Hanks Cr, and Conners Cr, which cut through the complex topography of the Mallard Hills. These seasonal watercourses and remote points like Thatcher Spring and Union Spring illustrate the critical role of water management in Nevada's high desert. Access to this portion of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest area is maintained through a sparse network of secondary routes such as CR-747 and NF-306. The map captures a moment of modern topographic recording, where public land survey boundaries and Forest Service roads intersect with established natural landmarks like Summit Cr and Cabin Cr.
