About this map

Edna Mountain dominates this portion of the Nevada landscape, where the high ridges of the range overlook the wide expanse of Pumpernickel Valley to the southeast. The area's water sources, critical for both ranching and mining in this arid climate, are clearly marked, including the namesake Goldrun Creek and several hot springs. Evidence of the region’s mineral wealth is scattered throughout the terrain, most notably at the Adelaide Mine and various Prospects located near the mountainside.

Agricultural life is anchored at the Hot Springs Ranch, positioned near the thermal waters in the southwestern corner. Drainages such as Rock Creek, Cumberland Creek, and Ragan Creek carve paths through the alluvial fans, showing the hydrological patterns that shaped local movement and settlement. This 1965 field-checked survey captures the balance between industrial extraction at the Gravel Pit and traditional ranching before modern developments altered the rural character of Humboldt County.
