About this map

Clover Valley defines the western half of this Nevada landscape, where the seasonal waters of The Slough gather along the base of the Pilot Range. This high-desert basin in Elko County serves as a drainage point for several mountain streams, including Steele Creek and Johnson Creek, which lose their definition as they enter the alluvial flats. The topography shifts dramatically on the eastern edge of the map, rising into the steep, contoured slopes of the Wood Hills.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Two Star Ranch Airport and the corridor of U.S. Highway 93, which runs north-to-south through the valley. Near the southeastern corner, the label for Tobar Flat marks a historically significant area where the terrain levels out before reaching the mountain passes. The presence of The Mound in the western valley floor provides a distinct navigational landmark amidst the otherwise uniform wetlands and sagebrush flats.
