About this map

Mt Moriah dominates the high elevation landscape of the southern Snake Range within the Humboldt National Forest. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by dramatic vertical relief, reaching a high point on the mountain and descending into numerous deep drainages such as Big Canyon and Deerhead Canyon. A distinctive high-altitude plateau known as The Table sits north of the peak, surrounded by the headwaters of Hendrys Cr and Negro Cr.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with mapped points including Chalk Spring, Turnleys Spring, and Ungopah Spring. Access is limited to a few specific corridors like Natl Forest Develop Road 460 Rd and Marble Wash Rd, which provide entry for management and recreation in these high basins. The map documents the complex drainage networks of Smith Cr and Timber Cr as they flow from the rugged interior toward the valley floors.
