About this map

Osceola and Hogum occupy the high eastern slopes of the Snake Range, where the terrain drops sharply toward the expanse of Spring Valley. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, with Pilot Knob Ridge separating a series of deep drainage features such as Grub Gulch, Jacks Gulch, and Mary Ann Canyon. To the south, the boundary of the Humboldt National Forest encompasses the headwaters of Willard Cr and Shingle Cr.

The presence of numerous named water sources like Willard Springs, Layton Spring, and Jacks Spring underscores the importance of reliable water in this arid Nevada environment. Modern transportation is represented by US Highway 50, which cuts across the central flats of the valley and climbs toward the mountains, providing the primary access through this sparsely populated section of White Pine County.
