2012 Map of Hogum

About this map

Osceola and the settlement of Hogum anchor this 2012 study of the eastern White Pine County landscape. This high-altitude region is defined by a series of steep drainages cutting westward from the heights, including Mary Ann Canyon, Grub Gulch, and Serpent Gulch. The map records a transition between the elevated terrain of Pilot Knob Ridge and the lower alluvial reaches where water sources like Willard Springs and Layton Spring emerge. Traces of human activity are centered on the winding Osceola Rd and Co Rd 39, which connect the scattered settlements and the Willard Creek Ranch. The intricate network of seasonal watercourses, such as Spring Cr and Willard Cr, illustrates the complex drainage patterns vital to the ranching and mining history of this part of the Snake Range.
