2018 Map of Cave Creek

About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the Schell Creek Range and Duck Creek Range converge. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems, including Steptoe Creek and its tributary South Fork Steptoe Creek, which feed into the Cave Creek Reservoir. This map documents a complex network of canyons such as Mosier Canyon, Tamberlaine Canyon, and Cooper Canyon, illustrating the natural water sources vital to the region like Mosier Spring and Cave Creek Spring. For those interested in the historical movement through these peaks, the map details established paths like The Narrows Trail and the Summit Spring Trail, alongside distinctive summits including Camel Peak and Square Top. The transition from the high ridges down to the Steptoe Valley on the western edge highlights the stark elevation changes typical of this Nevada wilderness.
