About this map

Santa Rosa National Forest encompasses this high-elevation portion of the Humboldt Range in northern Nevada. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, anchored by Five Fingers and the high summit of Paradise Peak. A network of drainage systems such as Singas Creek, Andorno Creek, and O'Neal Creek carve through the terrain, supporting isolated agricultural and ranching outposts like Andorno Ranch.

Resource extraction is evident through numerous unnamed Prospect markings scattered across the eastern slopes, particularly near Stone House Creek. Historical travel and access are represented by the Summit Trail and several 4WD tracks that connect remote springs like Carex Spring and Fry Spring to lower-lying areas. This document captures the intersection of high-desert wilderness management and the enduring presence of small-scale ranching and mineral exploration in Humboldt County during the late 1980s.
