About this map

The high Nevada landscape of the Humboldt National Forest is defined here by the headwaters of the Bruneau River and its intricate network of feeding creeks. This 1980s provisional survey illustrates a remote region of Elko County where cattle ranching and mining have long left their mark. Notable named locations like Inez, Cassidy, and Dolly indicate historical hubs of activity amid the broken terrain of the Rough Hills. Prospectors and mineral hunters will find numerous prospects and open pit mines concentrated in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle near the Badger Creek area.

Water sources are vital in this environment, with labels for Annie Creek, Cornwall Creek, and Seventysix Creek tracing the drainage patterns toward the river. Distinctive landforms such as Cornwall Basin and Jungle Basin are interspersed with family-named landmarks like Shively and isolated mountain springs reachable only by the extensive network of 4WD trails that navigate the gulches and canyons.
