2018 Map of Stag Mountain

About this map

Stag Mtn dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Nevada, where the drainage systems of the Fox Creek Range and the Mallard Hills meet. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including Stag Cr, Hanks Cr, and Summit Cr, which carve through the high desert. The map shows the remote infrastructure of Elko County, centered on the Charleston-Deeth Co Rd, a vital local corridor connecting isolated rangelands. Essential water sources for the region's ranching or wildlife are documented at Union Spring and Fletcher Spring. This survey provides a precise look at the land's topography and hydrology just before the end of the second decade of the 21st century, revealing the sparse but critical network of springs and creeks that support life in this arid environment.
