2018 Map of Gumboot Lake

About this map

Paradise Valley and the surrounding high desert of Humboldt County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and expansive flats in this 2018 survey. The eponymous Gumboot Lake sits at the center of the quadrangle, a focal point in a landscape marked by the Little Humboldt River and Big Cottonwood Cr. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the rising terrain of the Hot Springs Range, where features like Sodarisi Canyon and Long Canyon cut through the upland slopes. This area maintains a sparse, ranching-oriented infrastructure, anchored by routes like Dutch Flat Rd and the localized settlement area at Dutch Flat. The mapping of these drainages and seasonal lake beds reveals the delicate hydrological patterns essential to life and land use in this part of northern Nevada.
