About this map

The Humboldt River meanders across this northern Nevada landscape, creating a complex network of waterways including McIntyre Slough and Herrin Slough. In this region where the Humboldt and Lander County line meets, the river serves as a primary geographical anchor. The small settlement of Valmy is situated in the southwestern portion of the sheet, connected by the corridor of the Mote Hwy.

Surface drainage patterns define the terrain, with Sheep Cr and Trout Cr flowing toward the main river channel, while the Reese River enters from the south. The area around Ellison shows a characteristic Great Basin environment where seasonal watercourses and sloughs dictate the local topography. This map captures the intersection of critical desert hydrology and the transportation routes that follow the river valley.
