About this map

The Hot Springs Range dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape in Humboldt County, where steep drainage canyons like Mill Canyon and Sodaris Canyon cut through high elevations. Mining history is a prominent feature of the western slopes, particularly around Belmont Hill. Here, industrial activity is recorded through labels for the Dutch Flat Mine, the El Paso Mine, and a specific Mine Shaft, along with several scattered Prospects. These sites reflect the region's enduring connection to mineral extraction.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid Nevada terrain, with numerous springs named for local figures or geographic features. Delvada Spring and Browns Spring provide water in the southern canyons, while Willow Spring, Peak Spring, and Box Spring are found further north. To the east, the topography transitions into the broader Eden Valley, where Eden Creek and Willow Creek flow. This survey preserves the specialized locations of these water points and mines before modern shifts in land use or nomenclature.
