About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Nevada, where the drainage systems of Belmont Cr and Mitchell Cr carve through the terrain. The map details a complex network of resource management and early ranching infrastructure, centered around the Mitchell Ranch and various named water sources like Homestead Springs and Belmont Springs. The presence of several mining prospects, including Wright 1, Cass 3, and Cass 2, points to the region's long-standing mineral interest.

Water management is a defining characteristic of this area, evidenced by the numerous specialized tracks such as Pipeline Road, Pipeline Too, and the series of troughs including Trough 6 and Trough 5. These features, alongside the Schoolhouse Creek drainage and the Loop Trail, indicate a landscape heavily utilized for livestock and seasonal resource access within the national forest boundaries near the Elko and White Pine county line.
