1973 Map of Humboldt Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Humboldt Hill rises as the dominant landmark of this high-elevation landscape in Elko County, mapped during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Fourmile Butte and the long ridge of Elevenmile Hill. Water management in this arid cattle-country environment is evidenced by the presence of Rocky Reservoir, while the seasonal flow of Milligan Creek carves a path through the northern and central sections of the quadrangle. The lack of established towns or paved roads is reflected in the network of Jeep Trails that provide the only access across the high plateau and through the draws. This survey captures a moment of remote wilderness character before modern development or major navigational changes, preserving the original nomenclature of the ranching and surveying parties who named these peaks and creeks.
