2021 Map of Buckhorn Ridge

About this map

Buckhorn Ridge stands as the central topographical feature in this high-altitude corner of Elko County, marking the divide within the Humboldt National Forest. This modern survey reveals a landscape defined by livestock management and watershed patterns, where wide-open spaces like Buckhorn Pasture and Jaboonek Flat provide grazing grounds between steep draws. The intricate network of drainage is anchored by the North Fork Salmon Falls Cr and Canyon Cr, which carve through the basin and provide vital water sources like Buckhorn Spring.
