2018 Map of Alkali Peak

About this map

Alkali Peak dominates this high-elevation landscape in Humboldt County, where an intricate network of springs and intermittent creeks defines the local geography. The presence of numerous named water sources, such as Chokecherry Spring, Mcclusky Spring, and Big Buckaroo Spring, points to a history of ranching and livestock management in this arid territory. The terrain transitions from the steep elevations of Devaney Mtn down into the Virgin Valley, eventually reaching the low-lying Alkali Flat. To the southeast, the Alkali Reservoir sits near the Wild Horse Pasture, indicating how the land has been utilized for grazing. The complex drainage systems, including Hell Cr and the narrow passage of Box Canyon, illustrate the erosive forces that have shaped these High Rock Canyon Hills.
