2011 Map of Jordan Meadow Mountain

About this map

Jordan Meadow Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Humboldt County, where water sources dictate the geography of the Great Basin. The drainage patterns are defined by several seasonal systems, including Washburn Creek and Rock Creek, which descend through a series of named basins and mountains. High-desert water security is evidenced by the presence of Lone Willow Spring, Lyles Spring, and Big Bend Spring, essential points for ranching and wildlife in this arid environment. The southern portion of the sheet reaches into the Montana Mountains, while the central area is dominated by Round Mountain and the expansive Seven Springs Basin. This 2011 survey reflects the enduring character of a region where topographic features like Thacker Creek and Crowley Creek remain the primary identifiers for land use and navigation.
