1990 Map of Deer Creek Peak

About this map

The Jackson Mountains dominate this 1990 survey of Humboldt County, rising sharply above the eastern margin of the Black Rock Desert. This arid landscape is defined by its vital water sources and mineral potential, with numerous labels for Spring and Stock Pond Spring scattered across the high country. Resource extraction is evident through several marked Mine sites and Prospect locations, as well as Gravel Pits on the lower slopes. The human footprint is sparse but specific, centered on the Bottle Creek Ranch and the Poorman Spring area to the southeast. Waterways like Deer Creek, Hoppy Creek, and Willow Springs provide the primary geographic markers through the rugged interior, while a Transmission Line and a system of trails and unimproved roads trace the movement of people through this basin and range environment.
