2011 Map of Little Huntoon Valley

About this map

Little Huntoon Valley dominates this high-altitude corner of Mineral County, Nevada, defined by its complex drainage systems and isolated canyons. This 2011 survey illustrates the hydrological network of Jacks Creek, which flows through the southwestern portion of the quadrangle, winding through the sharp topographic relief of Jacks Spring Canyon. The map reveals a high-desert landscape maintained by a sparse grid of forest service routes, including 200a, 178, and 862, which provide the primary access for land management and recreation in this unpopulated basin. The reliance on these primitive roads suggests a territory primarily utilized for grazing, mining exploration, or transit through the Great Basin's basin-and-range province.
