2011 Map of Dry Hills North

About this map

Dry Hills dominates the topography of this section of Humboldt County, Nevada, providing a stark view of the high desert landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Chimney Creek in the northeast and Rabbit Creek in the southeast, which carve subtle paths through the arid basins. Human imprint on this vast rangeland is sparse, centered primarily on transportation routes like Kelly Creek Rd. This survey captures the region just as digital mapping standards were becoming the norm, documenting the precise location of traditional watercourses and landforms that have long guided movement through this part of the Great Basin.
