2021 Map of Bottle Hill

About this map

Kings River Valley and the surrounding high desert of Humboldt County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote ranch roads in this modern topographic record. The Quinn River meanders across the northern plains, while the western reaches are drained by Happy Cr. This landscape is centered on the prominent topographic landmark of Bottle Hill, a focal point for the surrounding public land survey system divisions. The map reveals the critical importance of water in this arid environment, evidenced by isolated features like Buckbrush Spring tucked into the eastern foothills. Transport throughout the quadrangle relies on a sparse network of dirt and gravel routes, including the historic corridor of the Old Winnemucca-Denio Rd and the Happy Creek Ranch Rd, which provide access to the vast basins and ranges north of Winnemucca.
