About this map

Donna Schee Spring and Noble Spring serve as critical water points in this arid expanse of Nevada's Humboldt County. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the Jungo Hills in the east and the course of Shawnee Creek to the northwest. This 1990 provisional survey records an environment shaped by small-scale mineral exploration and resource extraction, evidenced by numerous locations marked simply as Prospect and a larger Open Pit Mine.

The presence of a Stock Pond and a Dry Lake further illustrates the hydraulic character of the basin, where water is a scarce but defining feature. Beyond the natural springs, industrial activity is noted through utility features like a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit. The map captures the area just before the turn of the 21st century, showing the intersection of ranching needs and geological surveying in a remote high-desert setting.
