About this map

The Snake Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern Nevada, where vertical relief is defined by prominent landmarks like Antelope Peak and the elevated Summer Camp Ridge. Water sources are the critical drivers of local geography here, centered around the Bishop Creek Reservoir and the drainage network of Bishop Cr, which carves through the distinct Bishop Creek Canyon before reaching Bishop Flats.

Surface water is sparse elsewhere, marked by features such as Trough Canyon Spring and seasonal flows like Pole Cr and Thousand Springs Cr. The map captures the vastness of the Thousand Springs Valley, illustrating a rugged ranching and grazing environment where the topography transitions from the steep walls of Finks Canyon to broad valley floors. This survey provides a contemporary record of the area's natural hydrology and land divisions within Elko County.
