2018 Map of King Lear Peak

About this map

King Lear Peak and Navajo Peak define the high elevations of the Jackson Mountains in this Humboldt County survey. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage systems and canyons that indicate the area's complex hydrology, with Alaska Canyon and McGill Canyon cutting through the terrain. Evidence of ranching infrastructure and land management is seen in the lone thoroughfare, Jackson Creek Ranch Rd, and the presence of named water sources like Buckbrush Springs. Various seasonal drainages, including Big Cedar Cr, Little Cedar Cr, and Clover Cr, flow from the mountain slopes toward the lower-lying basins. The map illustrates the Public Land Survey System grid, detailing sections within townships T39N R31E and T38N R30E, which are essential for property research and historical land use studies in this part of northern Nevada.
