About this map

The Ichabod Range and Table Mtn dominate the northern landscape of this Elko County region, where high-desert drainage patterns define the local geography. Several prominent water sources, including Wagon Springs and Borges Spring, provide essential watering points for livestock and wildlife in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the headwaters and tributaries of the Owyhee River and Beaver Cr, including the complex network formed by W Fork Beaver Cr and E Fork Cr.

A sparse network of roads, notably Eco Road 746 and various spurs like Eco Rd, provide the primary access through this remote territory. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting the various springs and creek beds. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the hydrologic layout of the basin, illustrating how seasonal flows from Hot Cr and Hanks Cr feed into the larger river systems that characterize this part of northeastern Nevada.
