2018 Map of Humboldt Peak

About this map

Humboldt Peak and the high ridges of the East Humboldt Range dominate this 2018 survey of Elko County, Nevada. The terrain is characterized by steep alpine topography, including the notable Hole in the Mtn Peak and deep glacial features like Lizzies Basin. The eastern slopes within the Humboldt National Forest are fed by numerous seasonal drainages, such as Winchell Cr and Leach Cr, which descend toward the lower elevations of Clover Valley. Several high-altitude water bodies, including Winchell Lake, Steele Lake, and Boulder Lake, are positioned along the western edge of the quadrangle. For those interested in back-country navigation, the map illustrates established access routes like the E Humboldt Highline and Weeks Loop, which connect these remote alpine landmarks.
