2021 Map of Awakening Peak

About this map

Awakening Peak anchors this portion of the Slumbering Hills, a landscape defined by sharp drainage gulches and the high desert basins of Humboldt County. The map details the small settlements of Awakening and Daveytown, illustrating the sparse but deliberate human footprint in this mineral-rich region of Nevada. The topography is etched by steep ravines such as Siskiyou Gulch, Gaffney Gulch, and Havilah Gulch, which drain toward the eastern flats. To the east, the terrain levels out into Daveytown Flat and the broad Silver State Valley, where Sand Pass Rd provides the primary transit corridor. This survey offers a clear view of the relationship between the uplands and the valley floor, showing how land use and transit paths were dictated by the complex geography of the canyon systems.
