2021 Map of Chicken Creek Summit

About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Independence Mountains in this modern survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and primitive trails, such as the Chicken Creek Route and Jack Trl, which navigate the steep drainage basins of South Fork Mill Creek and Frost Creek. The presence of numerous specialized trail spurs, including Jack 3 Spur A Trl and Chicken S Spur A Trl, suggests a region heavily utilized for backcountry recreation and forest management. The highest elevations center around the Chicken Creek Summit, while the lower reaches show access via Independence Drive and Natl Forest Develop Road 165 Rd, providing a detailed look at the contemporary infrastructure within this protected Nevada wilderness.
