About this map

Sugarloaf Butte stands as a central landmark in this Elko County landscape, where the northern reaches of the Tuscarora Mountains meet an intricate network of seasonal drainages and high-desert springs. The terrain is defined by its verticality and the vital water sources that have sustained movement through this region for generations, including Coyote Spring, Hub Spring, and Granite Spring.

The presence of Indian Creek Field in the southeast suggests localized grazing or land use amidst the canyons, while Midas RD provides the primary transit artery across the northern section. Watercourses like Summit Cr, Willow Cr, and Adams Cr carve through the high ground, creating a complex topography of ridges and basins such as Packer Canyon and Williams Canyon. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear view of the township and range divisions across the Elko rangelands.
