About this map

Humboldt National Forest lands dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Nevada, where water remains the primary driver of geography and nomenclature. A dense network of springs—including Frog Spring, Stewart Spring, and Willow Spring—dots the canyons and basins, supporting the local livestock and wildlife economy. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Coyote Mtn and the Calico Mountains, which overlook expansive grazing areas such as Coon Corrals Flat and Coyote Flat.

Surface water drainage is carved out by the N Fork Little Humboldt River and Rock Cr, which slice through the arid terrain of the Owyhee Desert. Named landmarks like Zymns Butte and Charlie Young Canyon suggest a history of family ranching and early exploration in this remote corner of Humboldt County. The map details primitive transportation routes, notably Greeley Crossing Rd and the Natl Forest Develop Road 096 Rd, which provide access to high-country passes like Antelope Pass.
