About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses much of this 2018 survey, which highlights the high-elevation terrain of the White Pine Range. The map reveals a complex system of seasonal water sources and drainages essential to this arid environment, including Indian Garden Spring, Sage Hen Spring, and Tom Plain Spring. These isolated springs are often the primary focal points for historical land use in the high desert, serving as critical landmarks for travelers and ranching operations.

Elevation peaks at Indian Garden Mtn, with the landscape falling away into deep clefts like Freeland Canyon and Blackrock Canyon. Human infrastructure is largely limited to unpaved access routes like Indian Garden Road and the Ellison Spring Cutoff, tracing the natural contours of the ridges. To the north, Shellback Ridge stands as a prominent geological feature, while Ellison Cr and Copper Cr drain the southeastern slopes.
