2018 Map of Star Valley Ridge SW

About this map

Owyhee Desert terrain dominates this remote portion of Elko County, where the topography is defined by subtle elevation changes across a high-altitude landscape. The Little Owyhee River snakes through the northern reaches of the sheet, providing a primary drainage feature for the surrounding plains. To the west, the land rises toward a feature labeled Dobe Doc, while the rest of the map is largely characterized by a vast expanse of open range. The sparse labels on this survey reflect a strictly rural and undeveloped environment, centered on natural watercourses and terrain markers rather than human settlements or industrial infrastructure. It is a detailed record of the natural state of this Great Basin desert environment as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
