2014 Map of Tuscarora

About this map

Tuscarora sits at the foot of the Tuscarora Mountains in Elko County, where the high desert terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Independence Valley. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by its complex drainage systems, with numerous creeks such as McCann Cr, Pleasant Valley Cr, and Indian Cr flowing toward the S Fork Owyhee River. The map highlights the intersection of local history and geology, showing the village layout including Weed St and the regional connections via State Hwy 789 and Tuscarora Rd. To the northwest, the elevation climbs sharply toward peaks like Mt Blitzen, while the lower elevations are marked by the winding paths of Taylors Cañon Cr and Burns Cr. The grid-like survey lines of t40n r51e and surrounding townships overlay a territory shaped by ranching and mining heritage, providing a clear record of the area's rural road network.
