2018 Map of Marys River Basin NW

About this map

The Humboldt National Forest dominates this high-altitude corner of Elko County, where the Fox Creek Range and the Marys River Range define the watershed. This landscape is a complex network of high-desert drainage basins, most notably the Marys River Basin and the Williams Basin. The hydrology is particularly intricate, featuring the Marys River alongside the E Fork Jarbidge River and multiple forks of Willow Cr. Cattle ranching history is suggested by labels like the Seventysix Creek Pasture and several named corrals. Historically significant routes like the Charleston-Jarbidge road and the trail from W Marys River to Camp Draw provide a look at the primitive infrastructure used to navigate this terrain between Copper Basin and the deep Miles Canyon.
