About this map

The Santa Rosa Range and East Pasture Range converge in this high-desert landscape within the Humboldt National Forest. The geography is defined by a network of seasonal water sources and distinct mountain ridges, including Staunton Ridge and Black Ridge. The drainage patterns here are particularly notable, showing the headwaters and tributaries of both the South Fork Quinn River and the Little Humboldt River.

Evidence of ranching and land use appears through labels for a Corral and Water Tanks near Groundhog Creek. The prominence of named springs, such as Cold Springs and Chicken Spring, underscores the critical importance of water in this Nevada backcountry. Landmark elevations like Table Mountain and Squaw Tit Butte provide clear navigational points for researchers tracing the historical terrain of northern Humboldt County.
