About this map

The Humboldt National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape in Elko County, defined by the headwaters and drainages that feed the Marys River system. The area is characterized by significant topographical depressions, most notably the Marys River Basin in the west and Pete Basin to the south. These natural catchments are fed by a complex network of perennial and seasonal streams, including the E Fork Marys River and the Right Fork Camp Cr.

Transportation through this isolated terrain is limited to primitive forest routes like NF-309 and NF-078, which navigate the steep contours between peaks. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, showing how Sun Cr and Wildcat Cr carve through the eastern slopes. This 2015 survey provides a modern view of the watershed's structure, essential for understanding the hydrology and land management within the national forest boundaries.
