About this map

The Baldies rise as a prominent high-country feature within this remote expanse of Elko County, marking a rugged landscape defined by the convergence of the Delano Mountains and the Goose Creek Mountains. This 2018 survey documents a region largely shaped by its seasonal hydrology and cattle-country infrastructure, featuring scattered water sources such as Buck Spring and the Granite Cr Reservoir.

Navigational landmarks like Signboard Pass and The Narrows indicate traditional routes through the high desert terrain, while names like Dry Gulch and Cedar Mountain Draw speak to the area's arid character. The map traces the intermittent paths of Mill Cr and Granite Cr, providing essential data for those studying the drainage patterns and land use in this sparsely populated section of northeastern Nevada.
