About this map

Limestone Peak dominates the high elevation terrain of White Pine County, marking a prominent point within the western reaches of the Humboldt National Forest. This section of the White Pine Range transitions from high peaks down into the arid expanse of Jakes Valley to the east. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Hayden Cr flowing through Hayden Canyon and seasonal water courses like Circle Wash cutting through the alluvial fans at the base of the mountains.

Water management in this high-desert environment is evidenced by the presence of Butte Spring and the Butte Reservoir, essential points for livestock or local wildlife. Transportation across the valley floor and foothills relies on unpaved routes such as Long Valley Rd and Stone Spring Rd, which connect the isolated canyons to the broader regional network. The map provides a clear view of the township and range grid system, including t16n r59e and t15n r60e, reflecting the structured land divisions typical of the Great Basin.
