2018 Map of Capitol Peak

About this map

Capitol Peak rises as the central landmark of this corner of Humboldt County, marking a high point in the Calico Mountains. The landscape transitions from the high peaks within the Humboldt National Forest to the arid expanse of the Owyhee Desert in the southeast. Water management is a defining feature of the area, as seen in the placement of the North Mahogany Reservoir and South Mahogany Reservoir along the drainage routes. The terrain is characterized by deep basins and passes, notably Stewart Basin and Mahogany Pass, which dictate the local travel routes. Seasonal and perennial water flows like the Little Owyhee River and the N Fork Little Humboldt River carve through the landscape, supporting high-altitude features like Goosey Lake Flat. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching and forest access infrastructure, centered on routes such as Laca Cabin Road and Quinn Ridge.
