About this map

The confluence of the Humboldt River and the S Fork Humboldt River anchors the southern portion of this landscape near the settlement of Hunter. This area serves as a critical corridor for modern transportation, evidenced by the Frontage Rd and an Interpretive Center situated near the riverbanks. The terrain transitions from these vital waterways into the high elevations of the Adobe Range, which dominates the central and northern sections of the sheet.

Water management in this arid environment is traced through a network of seasonal drainages including Susie Cr, Middle Susie Cr, and Dry Susie Cr. Higher up in the range, the Upper Dry Susie Spring and E Adobe Cr provide localized water sources. To the northeast, the deep incision of Dobe Canyon cuts through the mountains, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that define this part of Elko County.
