2021 Map of Star Valley Ridge SW

About this map

Owyhee Desert terrain dominates this high-plateau landscape in Elko County, where the north-flowing Little Owyhee River carves a winding path through the arid flats. The map reflects a modern inventory of the region, emphasizing the drainage patterns and the few permanent water features like Lake Cr in the southeastern corner. A notable human landmark appears as Dobe Doc near the western edge, positioned along a sparse network of roads that crisscross the sagebrush country. This survey illustrates the vast, open character of Nevada’s northern borderlands, where the landscape is defined more by its hydrography and public land survey system lines—such as t46n r45e and t45n r45e—than by concentrated settlement. It provides a technical record of the land surface just before the 2020s, showing the intersection of intermittent stream beds and the isolated outposts of the high desert.
