About this map

Hinkey Summit serves as a central landmark within this high-elevation terrain, where the Santa Rosa Range and Martin Creek Mountains converge. Located within the Humboldt National Forest, the landscape is defined by a complex network of drainages, including the many branches of Dutch John Creek and the headwaters of Lye Creek. The map documents the high peaks of the region, most notably Granite Peak and Chocolate Mtn, alongside localized named areas like Paradise Valley.

Evidence of historical land use and transit is visible through features like Bradshaw Field and the winding route of Slick Rock. The hydrography is particularly detailed, tracing the descent from the summits through Box Canyon and the transition from Deep Creek to Box Canyon. This 2018 survey provides a precise record of the remote interior of Humboldt County, capturing the distinct nomenclature of the canyons and creeks that have long defined this part of Nevada.
