Humboldt National Forest anchors this high-elevation landscape where several historic paths and water sources converge. The namesake Horse Track Spring and others like Cottonwood Spring and Halfway Spring provided essential water for travelers and livestock in this arid environment. Elevation shifts are defined by Red Mtn, with drainage moving through the White River and Cottonwood Creek systems. A complex network of backcountry routes, including the Tunnel Trail, Red Mountain Trail, and Currant Creek Trail, suggests a long history of range management or exploration. The boundary between White Pine and Nye Counties cuts across the southwest corner, marking a political division in this largely uninhabited portion of the Great Basin.
