2012 Map of Tijuana John Peak

About this map

Tijuana John Peak stands as the primary topographical landmark in this high-desert portion of Elko County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, most notably the long course of Trout Creek which runs north-to-south through the center of the quadrangle. In the northeast, Willow Creek and Cow Creek further delineate the arid terrain. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse human footprint in this corner of Nevada, where the map is characterized by significant vertical relief and the intricate web of seasonal watercourses. The lack of named settlements or heavy infrastructure highlights the open, undisturbed nature of the Great Basin landscape during the early 21st century.
