About this map

The Humboldt River winds through the heart of this Nevada landscape, creating a narrow corridor of water management and transit between the high desert flats and steep mountain ranges. Along this vital waterway, the small settlements of Dunphy, Shoshone, and Rixies sit positioned near the river's path, reflecting the historic importance of water in this arid environment. The map details an extensive network of irrigation and water control, including the Rock Cr Ditch, Rose Canal, and the meandering Blue House Slough, which support activity in Boulder Flat and Boulder Valley.

To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Shoshone Range, marked by the prominent Argenta Rim and Shoshone Point. High-altitude features like Dunphy Pass provide passage through the rugged uplands, while the Lander Co Eureka Co line bisects the territory. This map documents a region where ranching, transportation, and natural geography converge at the northern end of the Shoshone mountains.
