2011 Map of Dry Hills South

About this map

Dry Hills dominates the northern landscape of this Humboldt County region, overlooking a complex drainage network where Rabbit Creek and Kelly Creek converge. The terrain transitions from the high ground of Rocky Canyon and Hansen Canyon into the broad expanse of Layton Field and Clover Valley. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses like Summer Camp Creek, Julian Creek, and Osgood Creek, which carve through the high desert floor. Human passage is marked primarily by sparse ranching or mining roads, most notably Burma Rd and Getchel Rd in the southwest, while Granite Creek and Spring Branch suggest the critical role of intermittent water sources in this arid environment.
