2021 Map of Mahala Creek West

About this map

The Independence Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape within the Humboldt National Forest, where steep canyons and seasonal water sources define the geography of northeastern Nevada. This 2021 survey documents a region reliant on scattered water points such as Spaghetti Spring, Italian Spring, and Warm Springs, which have long served as vital stops for those navigating the arid terrain. The map details the transition from the high ridges down into the Valley of the North Fork to the southeast.
