1968 Map of Marys River Basin NE

About this map

The Humboldt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeastern Nevada, characterized by the headwaters of the Marys River and its North Fork. Established backcountry routes are defined by a network of Pack Trails and a Jeep Trail that provide access to remote mountain drainage basins and grazing lands. Evidence of mid-century administrative and agricultural use is visible through the Wildcat Guard Sta and a Corral located near Pete Basin Creek. The terrain is marked by numerous springs that feed vital water sources like Camp Creek, Wildcat Creek, and Pete Basin. High on the slopes of the Jarbidge Mountains, small-scale exploration is recorded at several prospects, illustrating the historical search for minerals within this protected federal wilderness area.
