2014 Map of Stormy Peak

About this map

Snake Mountains topography dominates this section of Elko County, where high-elevation drainage systems define the remote landscape. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks like Stormy Peak and the nearby Stormy Canyon, which channel water into a complex network of seasonal and perennial streams. To the north, the headwaters of Middle Fork Deer Cr and W Fork Deer Cr carve through the slopes, while the southern reaches feature the wide Balsac Basin. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, represented by named features such as Red Spring and the Spring Gulch. The map also captures the intricate forks of the Jakes Creek system, including the N Fork Jakes Cr, providing a detailed look at the watershed before it reaches the lower basins.
