About this map

Santa Rosa Range topography dominates this 2011 survey of Humboldt County, where high-elevation landmarks such as Buckskin Mountain and Eightmile Mountain define the drainage patterns of the Great Basin. The landscape is marked by a series of named peaks and gulches that suggest a legacy of early exploration and automotive-era activity, evidenced by features like Auto Hill, Radiator Hill, and National Gulch.

Water systems are central to the terrain, with Eightmile Creek and the North Fork Little Humboldt River carving deep paths through the highlands. Local history is anchored by Transfer Camp and the steep incline of Buckskin Slide, while Windy Gap and Staunton Ridge provide natural corridors through the range. This detailed record captures the area's essential geography, from the headwaters of Canyon Creek to the surrounding ridgelines, just as it appeared in the early 21st century.
