About this map

The Hot Springs Range dominates this landscape in Humboldt County, where numerous seasonal water sources and deep drainage systems define the high desert terrain. Water is the primary driver of names on this map, from the central Delvada Spring to a series of named outflows including Willow Spring, Cherry Spring, and Box Spring. These vital points of hydration are tucked into a complex network of canyons such as Sodarisi Canyon and Delvada Canyon.

Evidence of human activity is primarily limited to the edges of the high ground, where Edam Valley Rd and Eden Valley Rd skirt the base of the mountains. The transition from the steep elevations of Belmont Hill and the Dry Hills down into the broader Eden Valley illustrates the classic basin and range topography of northern Nevada. This survey documents the specific locations of named springs and canyons that have likely served as landmarks for ranchers and travelers in the region for generations.
