About this map

The Fort Mc Dermitt Indian Reservation spans the northern reaches of this High Desert landscape, where the Quinn River meanders toward the Quinn River Lakes. This 1982 provisional survey captures a remote section of Humboldt County defined by its seasonal hydrology and arid terrain features. The presence of the Hog John Ranch (Site) provides a specific point of interest for researchers of local ranching history and land use.

South of the river, the terrain is dominated by the Bottle Creek Slough and the winding course of Bottle Creek, which drain toward expansive salt crusts like Alkali Flat. Human activity is sparse but evident in the landscape through the Bor Pit (Abnd) located near Black Butte, alongside a prominent Trans Line that cuts across the southern flats. The map serves as a detailed record of water drainage and boundary lines in a vast, sparsely populated basin.
