2021 Map of Humboldt Hill

About this map

Humboldt Hill and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Elko County, capturing a remote landscape dominated by topographical landmarks and seasonal water sources. The map provides a detailed view of the Owyhee Desert as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing how intermittent drainage systems like Milligan Cr carve through the basin. While largely undeveloped, the area includes a notable concentration of high points such as Fourmile Butte and Elevenmile Hill, which serve as primary orientation points in this expansive territory. The presence of Rocky Reservoir indicates local water management and resource access in an otherwise arid environment, while the intricate system of township and range boundaries, including t43n r45e, illustrates the enduring structure of western land divisions and public land surveys in Nevada.
