1991 Map of Hoppin Peaks

About this map

Hoppin Peaks and Salient Peak dominate the western terrain of this Humboldt County quadrangle, where the steep relief of Chokecherry Canyon and McConnell Canyon gives way to the broad floor of Quinn Valley. The hydrological network is the focal point of the area's development, featuring the winding course of the Quinn River and its tributaries like Skull Creek and Flat Creek. This 1991 provisional survey captures a landscape defined by water management and resource extraction, notably marked by a Gaging Station on the river and a Borrow Pit in the valley. High-altitude water sources such as Cherry Spring contrast with the engineered Stock Pond at lower elevations, illustrating the essential infrastructure required for survival and industry in this arid environment.
