2021 Map of Star Valley Ridge East

About this map

Star Valley Ridge defines the high ground of this high-desert landscape where the border of Nevada and Idaho meets. The terrain transitions into the northern reaches of the Owyhee Desert, a region historically characterized by its isolation and lack of permanent settlement. Drainage is sparse, with Lake Cr winding through the southern portion of the sheet. This 2021 update from the U.S. Geological Survey traces the modern cadastral boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including sections within t16s r5w and t47n r46e. The map illustrates a vast, uninhabited section of Elko County and Owyhee County, reflecting the enduring character of this borderland long after the initial frontier surveys of the late 19th century.
