2014 Map of Bearpaw Mountain

About this map

Bearpaw Mtn dominates the central high ground of this high-desert landscape where the border between Idaho and Nevada meets. The terrain transitions from the open flats of the Diamond A Desert in the north to the jagged drainage systems of the Buck Creek Mountains in the south. Within the Humboldt National Forest, the map reveals a critical network of water sources essential for survival in this arid environment, including Zenobia Spring, Jim Bob Spring, and the Tub Spring Reservoir. The deep incision of Deep Creek Canon and Rattlesnake Canyon highlights the erosive force of seasonal waters like Deep Cr and Murphy Wash. This topographic study documents the infrastructure of grazing and land management in Elko County, featuring several Forest Service development roads and named landmarks like Taylor Pocket and Johns Gulch.
