2011 Map of Donna Schee Spring

About this map

Donna Schee Spring and Noble Spring serve as critical water points in this arid stretch of Humboldt County. The 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the drainage patterns of Shawnee Creek as it winds through a landscape defined by seasonal hydrography. This specific terrain is largely undeveloped, with the map recording the minimal road infrastructure and natural springs that have historically dictated movement and survival in the Great Basin. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for these water sources and their relationship to the surrounding topographical contours, offering a detailed record of the local hydrology at the start of the 21st century.
