2018 Map of Texas Spring

About this map

Texas Spring and Opal Spring sit at the heart of this high-desert landscape in northern Elko County. The terrain is defined by the significant elevation changes between the Granite Range to the northwest and the Knoll Mtn peak to the southwest. This 2018 survey reveals a network of seasonal watercourses like Trout Cr and Sulphur Cr that have carved deep features into the land, most notably Texas Spring Canyon and Bell Canyon. In the northeastern corner, the Toana John Mountains rise above the basin, while the southern edge of the map reaches the H D Range. The drainage patterns, including Corral Canyon, show how water moves through this arid environment, connecting the isolated springs that served as vital landmarks for early travel through this part of the Great Basin.
