About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Northern Nevada, where the Santa Rosa Range and Martin Creek Mountains converge. The topography is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including Granite Peak and Chocolate Mtn, which overlook a complex system of drainage basins. Numerous forks of watercourses like Dutch John Cr, Cabin Cr, and Willow Cr carve through the terrain, indicating a watershed critical to the surrounding arid region.

Transportation through this wilderness relies on established forest routes and backcountry trails. The central Hinkey Summit serves as a primary navigation point, connected by specialized access ways such as Lye Creek Spur A and Hinkey Summit Spur B. For those tracing local history or land use, the map reveals grazing and aviation infrastructure like Bradshaw Field and a network of remote paths including the Slick Rock Trl and Willow Creek Trl.
