1988 Map of Fairbanks Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Bull Head Ranch anchors the lower terrain of this Humboldt County quadrangle, situated where the high desert ridges meet the drainage of the Little Humboldt River. The landscape is dominated by the steep transition from Fairbanks Canyon in the northeast down toward the broader expanses of Eden Valley in the south. This 1980s landscape remains largely undeveloped, characterized by isolated water features like Eden Creek and various unnamed springs. Human infrastructure is minimal and utilitarian, consisting primarily of a Landing Strip near the ranch and a Borrow Pit nearby, reflecting the ranching and resource management needs of the era. A Gaging Sta along the river highlights the importance of water monitoring in this arid environment.
