About this map

Agricultural operations and water sources define this Humboldt County landscape in 2011, where the Little Humboldt River meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant family and company holdings are documented through labels such as the Stocks Farming Company Ranch, Ninetysix Ranch, and Hot Springs Ranch. These sites, along with smaller named areas like Pennywinkle and Little Poverty, suggest a sparse settlement pattern centered around the region's limited water supply.

Transportation through the basin is managed by a network of local routes, including Martin Creek Rd, Hardscrabble Rd, and Shelton Rd. Natural landmarks like Bone Canyon and geothermal features such as The Hot Springs provide critical context for the area's geography. Hydrological features including Martin Creek, Adams Slough, and Ward Spring reflect the essential role of water management in this arid Nevada territory.
