About this map

Steptoe Valley and the western slopes of the Schell Creek Range dominate this landscape within the Humboldt National Forest. The map documents a rugged high-elevation environment where water management is critical to the local geography, evidenced by the John Magnuson Ditch and several named springs such as Siderock Spring, Grouse Spring, and Teapot Spring. These water sources feed into numerous drainage systems including Mattier Creek, Whiteman Creek, and Big Indian Creek.

Resource extraction and transit routes are concentrated along the mountain front, including the Ruby Mine and an extensive network of fire roads and trails. Historical transit is represented by Old Hwy 93, while more specialized routes like the South Mattier Creek Trail and Muncy Creek Trail provide access into the deeper canyons of the Schell Creek Range. The map also captures several distinct landforms like Dry Canyon and Snowbank Canyon.
