2018 Map of Buckskin Mountain

About this map

Buckskin Mtn and the high elevations of the Santa Rosa Range dominate this portion of the Humboldt National Forest in northern Nevada. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, evidenced by features like the Buckskin Slide and the prominent Staunton Ridge. This area has long been shaped by mining and range management, indicated by names such as National Gulch and Charleston Gulch. The map records a network of mountain roads and tracks including the New Motortrail and the Indian Creek-Canyon Creek Rd, which provide access to high-altitude landmarks like Auto Hill and Radiator Hill. Numerous drainages, including Eightmile Cr and the N Fork Little Humboldt River, carve through the complex topography near Windy Gap and Hinkey Summit.
