About this map

Stag Mtn serves as the central high point of this interior Elko County landscape, where several seasonal drainages radiate toward the lower elevations. The area is defined by its water sources, with Fletcher Spring and Union Spring providing critical points of interest in an otherwise arid terrain. To the southeast, the Mallard Hills rise above the confluence of local drainages, including Conners Cr and Hanks Cr.

Transportation through this high-altitude basin is facilitated by the Charleston Deeth Co Rd, a thoroughfare connecting the historic ranching and mining districts of northeast Nevada. The map captures a complex network of seasonal creek beds, such as Stag Cr, Summit Cr, and Cabin Cr, which illustrate the natural watershed patterns of the Great Basin. This layout reflects the long-standing land use of the region, centered on open range and dispersed water resources.
