2012 Map of Argenta

About this map

The Humboldt River carves a central path through this portion of Lander County, flanked by the high elevations of the Sheep Creek Range to the north and the Shoshone Range to the south. This landscape is defined by the hydrologic complexity of the Boulder Valley, where the Blue House Slough meanders alongside the main river channel and the White House Ditch indicates local water management. Small settlements and specialized land uses like the T-S Ranch and Kampos are situated within this riparian corridor. To the south, the topography rises sharply at the Argenta Rim, where the land falls away into Mosquito Canyon and Water Canyon, providing a stark contrast to the flat river bottomlands where the historic railroad stop of Argenta and the siding at Mosel are located.
