2021 Map of Maggie Summit

About this map

The Bull-Run Mountains anchor this high-altitude section of the Humboldt National Forest in Elko County. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and ridgelines, with numerous basins like Columbia Basin and Bull-Run Basin providing focal points for the surrounding topography. A complex network of trails and primitive roads, including Blue Jacket Road and White Rock Creek Road, reveals the area's history as a place of transit and exploration. Named features such as Pennsylvania Hill and Maggie Summit suggest early mining or ranching influences, while the naming of Polaris Gulch and California Gulch hints at the specific prospecting eras that once drew people to these remote canyons. Water is seasonal yet central to the land's organization, with Columbia Cr and Doby George Cr carving paths through the high terrain.
