About this map

The East Humboldt Range dominates the western half of this 2021 survey, defining a high-elevation landscape within the Humboldt National Forest. From these peaks, numerous drainages like Gordon Creek, Wiseman Creek, and Rockwall Creek descend eastward into the broad basin of Clover Valley. The geography reflects a high-desert hydrological system where isolated water sources are critical landmarks; names like Woolverton Spring, Rattlesnake Spring, and Greek Spring indicate the essential role of groundwater in this arid environment.

Evidence of modern land management and recreational access is visible through an extensive network of named paths, including the Woolverton Trail, Fence Line Trail, and the Jerry Crab Spur A Trail. To the east, the terrain transitions into the wetlands of the Clover Valley Wildlife Reservoir and the western edge of Snow Water Lake, highlighting the contrast between the mountain front and the valley floor.
