About this map

Division Peak and the surrounding Division Range dominate this high-desert terrain along the Washoe and Humboldt County line. The landscape is defined by its series of distinct high points, including Ladden Cone, Sheep Peaks, and Mt Observation, which offer a clear view of the complex topography of the Great Basin. Sparse but critical water sources, such as McCarty Spring, Donnelly Spring, and King Spring, are the primary landmarks in an otherwise arid environment.

Transportation through this area is limited to rugged tracks like C R 34 and Barley Rd, which navigate around features like Donnelly Flat and through Razor Canyon. The map reveals a land divided by township and range lines, where the placement of named springs often dictates the historical utility of the land for ranching or travel. The presence of Smoky Canyon and Willow Cr further illustrates the drainage patterns that have shaped this high-altitude basin over time.
