About this map

The North Fork Little Humboldt River and its various tributaries define the hydrology of this remote corner of Humboldt County. The landscape is characterized by its wide, open flats and essential water sources, including Antelope Spring and Coyote Spring in the northwest. Local infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily around the area of Greeley Crossing and the Greeley Cattleguard, which serve as vital points for livestock management in the high desert.

Water management is evident through the presence of several catchments such as Big Sage Reservoir, Sagehen Reservoir, and the intermittent Evans Lake to the southeast. The primary transit route, Quinn River Rd, provides the main access through the region, connecting these remote points across the namesake Greeley Flat. This survey illustrates the specialized ranching geography of Nevada, where every spring and river fork serves as a critical landmark.
