2014 Map of Lee

About this map

The settlement of Lee serves as the focal point for this high-elevation landscape on the western slopes of the Ruby Mountains. Established along the S Fork Humboldt River, the area is defined by a series of steep drainages including Kleckner Cr and N Furlong Cr that flow westward out of the peaks. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Humboldt National Forest, where the topography becomes increasingly complex around Rattlesnake Cr and Drown Cr. A network of forest and county routes, such as Lee Rd and Mose Rd, provide access to the canyons. Geographic landmarks like Echo Canyon and Box Canyon emphasize the deeply incised nature of the terrain, while the inclusion of named water sources like Lee Spring and Willow Cr highlights the vital importance of water management in this high-desert environment.
