About this map

The Grant Range and Horse Spring Hills dominate this high-desert topography within the eastern portion of the Humboldt National Forest. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by its vital water sources, including Big Spring, Wiregrass Spring, and Murphy Spring, which are scattered among the ridges and washes. The presence of numerous named springs suggests their continued importance for local ecology and navigation in this arid region.

Erosion has carved distinct features across the terrain, most notably Scofield Canyon and the sharply defined Rimrock Canyon. To the southeast, the land transitions into the relatively level expanse of Garden Valley. Drainage patterns are meticulously mapped through various seasonal waterways like Sherwood Wash, Teaspoon Wash, and Murphy Wash, illustrating how water moves from the high peaks toward the valley floor.
