1959 Map of Hinkey Summit

About this map

Santa Rosa Peak and Granite Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Humboldt National Forest, where the topography is defined by steep canyons and seasonal water sources. The map records a transition from high peaks down toward the north end of Paradise Valley, showing the complex drainage systems of Big Cottonwood Creek and Mullinix Creek. Human activity is centered around the forest's resources, indicated by the Martin Creek Ranger Station, the Solid Silver Mine, and scattered cattle ranching operations like the Flat Creek Ranch.
