2014 Map of Hunter

About this map

Hunter stands as the primary settlement focus in this high-desert landscape of Elko County, situated near the confluence where the S Fork Humboldt River meets the main channel of the Humboldt River. The topography is dominated by the northern reaches of the Adobe Range, which directs a network of seasonal drainages including Dry Susie Cr, Middle Susie Cr, and Susie Cr toward the river valley below. These waterways, alongside features like Upper Dry Susie Spring, illustrate the critical importance of water sources for ranching and settlement in the Great Basin. Ranching heritage is evidenced by the prominent Maggie Creek Ranch Rd traversing the southern portion of the map. The interplay between the river corridor and the flanking mountain ranges provides a clear view of the traditional transportation and ranching corridors that have defined this region for generations.
