About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape where the White Pine Range reaches its peaks. The map details the complex drainage systems of the eastern Great Basin, showing the headwaters of the White River and several smaller tributaries like Currant Creek. Critical water sources for local wildlife and range management are identified at high-altitude seeps including Limerock Spring, Vanover Spring, and Saddle Spring.

The central divide is punctuated by prominent summits such as Duckwater Peak and Currant Mtn, which serve as landmarks along the boundary between White Pine and Nye Counties. Notable passage points through the high country include Beef Pass and the route through White River Pass, connected by established paths like the White River Pass Canyon Trail. The land use is defined by this forest service wilderness, where deep drainages like Broom Canyon and Blackrock Canyon carve through the basin and range geology.
