About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border between Nevada and Idaho. The terrain transitions from the Inside Desert in the west toward the formidable peaks of the Elk Mountains and the Marys River Range in the southeast. A complex network of canyons and ridges is defined by seasonal waterways such as Caudle Cr, Sheep Cr, and Deadman Cr.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with Coyote Spring and Black Spring serving as critical landmarks for travelers and surveyors. The map documents a dense system of fire roads and trails, including the Pole Creek-Canyon Creek route and various spurs like Cow Camp Spur A, reflecting the area's use for forest management and ranching. Notable geographic features like Hays Canyon and the Canyon Creek Pockets reveal the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped this borderland region.
