About this map

Coyote Mountain and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Humboldt County, where the North Fork Little Humboldt River carves through the landscape. The map reveals a region defined by water scarcity and cattle ranching history, evidenced by the numerous named water sources like Frog Spring, Pond Spring, and Stewart Spring. Evidence of human presence is sparse, concentrated at the Black Ridge Cabin and the Guard Corral Reservior, showing how early settlers and ranchers managed the arid environment.

The topography is marked by distinct landmarks such as Zymns Butte and the Calico Mountains. Significant canyons like Charlie Young Canyon and its western branch cut into the elevations, while Antelope Pass suggests a natural transit point through the ridges. This detailed 2011 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey provides an essential view of the drainage patterns and seasonal watercourses like Rock Creek that sustain this remote part of Nevada.
