2021 Map of The Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Adobe Range in Elko County, Nevada, is defined by its dramatic drainage networks and namesake peaks. This 2021 study captures the topographic complexity of The Buttes, where the terrain drops sharply into deep incisions like Coal Mine Canyon and Jackstone Canyon. The area serves as a significant watershed, with Twelvemile Cr and Willow Cr cutting through the slopes, while Willow Springs provides a rare point of surface water in the arid northern basin. Human passage is marked by the winding path of Coal Mine Rd, which navigates the high country between Dorsey Basin and the canyon floors. The map reveals the intricate natural contours of the Great Basin, focusing on the intersection of the range and the various seasonal creeks that define the regional geography.
