2018 Map of Holloway Mountain

About this map

Holloway Mtn and the Holloway Ridge dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of Oregon and Nevada. The terrain is defined by the steep transitions between the Trout Creek Mountains to the north and the Bilk Creek Mountains in the southwest, with the Kings River Valley providing a lower drainage corridor through the center. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, marked by numerous named points such as Cherry Patch Spring, Little Creek Spring, and Holloway Spring. The hydrological network is further detailed by seasonal drainages like Cottonwood Cr, Log Cabin Cr, and Raster Cr, which flow toward the Kings River. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the remote borderlands of Humboldt County, providing a precise record of the landforms and water features that have dictated movement and survival in this corner of the Great Basin.
