2012 Map of Star Valley Ridge East

About this map

Star Valley Ridge dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Nevada-Idaho border, as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2012. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the headwaters of Lake Creek which flows through the southwestern corner. The map provides a detailed view of the remote boundary lands of Elko County, where limited infrastructure exists beyond a sparse network of 4WD and local roads. This survey serves as a modern baseline for understanding the hydrologic and topographic layout of the high desert ridges and valleys in this corner of the Great Basin.
