2014 Map of Argenta

About this map

The Humboldt River corridor dominates this central Nevada landscape, carving a vital path between the Sheep Creek Range to the north and the Shoshone Range to the south. Historically significant for its role as a transportation artery, the river valley here supports the small rail-aligned settlements of Argenta, Kampos, and Mosel. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, from the broad expanse of Boulder Valley and Boulder Flat to the precipitous Argenta Rim and Argenta Point. Water management is evident in features such as the White House Ditch and the Blue House Slough, which navigate the flat basin floor. Notable local landmarks like Argenta Butte and Mosquito Canyon provide specific points of reference for those tracing regional geography or family history tied to the early ranching and railroad era.
