2021 Map of Valley Pass

About this map

Toano Draw cuts through this high-altitude interior basin of Elko County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape situated between significant Great Basin uplifts. The northeastern corner is dominated by the steep slopes of the Leach Range, which transitions into the prominent heights of Murdock Mtn. To the south, the terrain levels into the broad expanse of Goshute Valley, a geographic feature that has historically influenced travel and settlement patterns across this part of Nevada. This 2021 update from the U.S. Geological Survey provides an intricate view of the topography and public land survey system lines including t39n r67e and t38n r66e, documenting the contemporary state of this sparsely populated desert region.
