2018 Map of Illipah

About this map

Old Lincoln Hwy cuts across the northern desert landscape of White Pine County, tracing a historic path through this high-elevation corridor. The eastern slopes of the White Pine Range and the prominent Moorman Ridge define the western topography, where the Humboldt National Forest boundary protects the upland terrain. This area serves as a critical water source in an arid basin, evidenced by Moorman Spring and the drainage of Illipah Cr. To the east, the map transitions into the broad expanse of Jakes Valley, a region marked by seasonal water features like Jakes Pond and Cottonwood Pond. The presence of the Morman Ridge Trail suggests a landscape utilized for both transit and resource management, maintaining the footprint of early western travel routes well into the modern era.
