2021 Map of Goat Ranch Springs

About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses the high-elevation terrain of the Quinn Canyon Range in this modern survey of the remote Nevada interior. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage networks, with deeply carved features like Sawmill Canyon, Water Canyon, and Little Water Canyon radiating from the central peaks. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the seasonal water source at Goat Ranch Springs and a network of forest access roads including Natl Forest Develop Road 416 Rd. This map captures the intersection of Nye Co and Lincoln Co, where the transition from valley floors to high ridges like Skull Mtn dictates the movement of early travelers. The inclusion of the South Fork Cottonwood Trl highlights the enduring paths through these steep canyons, essential for ranching and resource management in the Great Basin.
