About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Humboldt National Forest dominates this landscape along the Nevada-Oregon border. Rising between the Owyhee Desert and the E Fork Quinn River, the area is defined by the prominent Mahogany Ridge and the Calico Mountains. These uplands are vital water sources in an arid environment, marked by features such as Mahogany Spring, Rock Spring, and The Rock Spring.

Resource access is traced through primitive routes like Laca Cabin Road, reflecting the region's history of remote ranching and land management. The drainage network, including Mahogany Cr, Piccolo Cr, and Tent Cr, reveals how the topography directs seasonal runoff from peaks like Odell Mtn toward the Quinn River valley. This survey provides a precise view of the land before modern developments, highlighting the isolated draws and peaks that have long characterized Humboldt County.
