2011 Map of Knight

About this map

Humboldt River defines the landscape of this Humboldt County region, winding through a valley characterized by isolated ranching outposts and small railroad-aligned settlements. Near the river's path, sites like White House Ranch and Ellison Ranch illustrate the agricultural footprint in this high desert environment. The settlement pattern follows the established transportation corridor, with locations such as Knight and Herrin positioned along the railway and road network. To the northwest, Red House sits near the river's bend, while Herrin Slough marks a low-lying drainage area south of the main river channel. This 2011 survey captures the area's enduring reliance on the river for irrigation and commerce, showing the relationship between water access and habitation in rural Nevada.
