2018 Map of Harrison Pass

About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in Elko County, where the southern portion of the Ruby Mountains transitions toward the Carville Basin. The map documents a rugged network of water sources and seasonal drainages, including Pearl Creek, Brown Creek, and the many forks of Corral Creek. For the local historian, the presence of established ranching sites like Corta Ranch and Zaga Ranch indicates the long-standing agricultural activity that defines this region's economy. High-country travel is centered on Harrison Pass, a critical crossing point served by Harrison Pass Rd. This road provides access to wilderness points like the Ruby Crest South Trailhead, while numerous springs such as Basin Springs and Arizona Spring mark the essential water points used by both livestock and travelers through the high basin and range terrain.
