2021 Map of McGhee Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

McGhee Mtn dominates the central portion of this Humboldt County quadrangle, situated within the wider Idaho Canyon Range. The landscape is defined by its drainages and isolated water sources, where high desert topography yields to the dramatic Thousand Creek Gorge in the northwest. This area exhibits a typical Great Basin drainage pattern, with seasonal waterways like Virgin Cr and Sagebrush Cr winding through deeply incised canyons. For those interested in the historical geography of Nevada's high desert, the map identifies critical permanent water points such as McGhee Mountain Spring and Burro Spring, which have long served as vital landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the rising mass of Big Mtn, providing a clear view of the complex elevation changes that characterize this portion of the Oregon-Nevada borderlands.
