1985 Map of Frost Creek

About this map

Huntington Valley defines the western expanse of this high-desert landscape in Elko County, where the intricate drainages of the Humboldt National Forest descend from the eastern heights. The map records a rangeland economy through the prevalence of stock tanks and numerous corrals scattered near water sources like Humboldt Spring and Brown Creek. Water management is central to this terrain, visible in the network of seasonal and perennial streams including Huntington Creek, Frost Creek, and Pearl Creek. In the south, Lindsay Creek and the forks of North Fork Twin and South Fork Twin Creek provide critical points of reference for local land use. While largely undeveloped, the presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered wells indicates the essential infrastructure supporting livestock and resource management in this high basin environment during the mid-1980s.
