2015 Map of Frost Creek

About this map

Huntington Valley serves as the focal point for this Nevada landscape, where the high-desert terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and vital water sources. The map details a transition from the lower valley floor into the rising elevations of the Humboldt National Forest at its eastern edge. Cattle ranching and land management are evident through the naming of the Corta Ranch Rd and the identification of essential water points like Frost Springs, Platt Spring, and Humboldt Spring. Transport through the area relies on historic corridors such as Old Harrison Pass Rd and various county and Forest Service roads. Named watercourses including Pearl Cr, Robinson Cr, and Lindsay Cr illustrate the complex watershed that flows from the adjacent mountains toward the valley bottom, sustaining the sparse vegetation and ranching operations of this Elko County region.
