1990 Map of Heath Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Grant Range dominates this portion of the Humboldt National Forest, where the terrain is marked by high mountain passes and seasonal water sources. Reaching back to data from the early 1960s with updates through 1990, the map illustrates a landscape accessible primarily by 4wd tracks and a Pack Trail winding through the high country. Historical mining activity is noted by a cluster of prospects near Sawmill Pass, while livestock and wildlife rely on scattered water points like Heath Springs and Balsam Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by steep-walled corridors such as Heath Canyon and Grant Canyon, which feed into the wider Big Spring Wash below. This survey captures the remote character of the Nevada interior, where land use was defined by forest management and the search for minerals.
