About this map

Humboldt Peak and the high ridges of the East Humboldt Range dominate this 2014 survey of Nevada's high desert wilderness. This section of the Humboldt National Forest is defined by its dramatic alpine geology, including the distinct formations of Hole in the Mountain Peak and the cirques containing Winchell Lake and Steele Lake.

Transitioning from the high peaks to the lowlands, the map traces the drainage patterns of several creeks, such as Weeks Cr and Steele Cr, as they flow toward the agricultural flats of Clover Valley. The presence of NV-232 at the base of the mountains indicates the primary transportation corridor connecting the remote ranches and grazing lands of this region, while names like Lizzies Basin and Bradish Spring point to the area's legacy of local land use and seasonal water sources.
