About this map

Division Peak and the high ridges of the Division Range dominate this corner of the High Desert on the boundary of Washoe and Humboldt Counties. The landscape is defined by its verticality, rising from the broad Donnelly Flat toward prominent summits such as Sheep Peaks and Mt Observation. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are sparse but identified by various named springs, including King Spring, Cane Springs, and the high-elevation Pipeline Spring.

Logistics across this terrain are limited to a few established routes such as C R 34 and Barley Rd, which provide access through narrow corridors like Razor Canyon and Smoky Canyon. The absence of developed settlements highlights the area's use for resource management and ranching, with the map recording the precise township and range divisions that governed western land claims and grazing rights.
