2015 Map of Awakening Peak

About this map

Awakening Peak and the high ridges of the Slumbering Hills dominate this portion of Humboldt County, marking a stark transition into the expansive Silver State Valley. The map documents the scattered desert settlements of Awakening and Daveytown, connected by the winding Sand Pass Rd as it traverses the eastern flats. These small outposts sit at the base of a complex drainage system, where deeply etched features like Siskiyou Gulch, Gaffney Gulch, and Havilah Gulch channel runoff toward Daveytown Flat. The geography here reflects a long history of Great Basin prospecting and high-altitude land management, with the rugged Humboldt Canyon providing a natural corridor through the interior mountains north of the primary settlements.
