2018 Map of Valley Mountain

About this map

Valley Mtn and the solitary peak of Lone Butte define the eastern high ground of this Elko County landscape, looking out over the expansive drainage of Butte Valley. The terrain is characterized by the complex drainage patterns of Drakes Cr, which winds through the foothills where the mountains meet the basin floor. This 2018 survey documents the precise Public Land Survey System township and range divisions, including t31n r62e and t32n r61e, which are essential for identifying historical land patents and grazing allotments in this part of Nevada. The map illustrates the sparse, high-desert water network typical of the Great Basin, where intermittent streams like Drakes Cr serve as vital markers for both historical navigation and modern land management.
