About this map

Huntington Valley serves as a prominent geographic anchor in this 2018 survey of Elko County, where the high desert terrain meets the western fringes of the Humboldt National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of drainage systems, most notably Frost Creek emerging from Frost Canyon and the winding course of Huntington Creek. High-elevation water sources are vital features here, including Frost Springs, Platt Spring, and Humboldt Spring.

Evidence of historical land use and transit is preserved through named routes like the Old Harrison Pass Road and Old State Highway 228. The presence of the Right Ranch in the southern portion of the map highlights the enduring ranching character of this Nevada interior. This topography illustrates the complex network of mountain runoff through features like Pearl Creek, Brown Creek, and the North and South Forks of Twin Creek.
