1986 Map of Mount Moriah

About this map

Mount Moriah dominates this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1980s, serving as a focal point within the Humboldt National Forest. The topography is defined by the massive plateau of The Table and a radial network of drainage systems including Smith Creek, Hampton Creek, and Silver Creek. This provisional survey captures a wilderness area shaped by geological scale and early resource exploration. Evidence of prospectors is scattered across the terrain, with several Mine Shafts and Prospects noted in the northwestern sections. A complex system of Pack Trails provides the primary means of navigation through steep drainages like Deerhead Canyon, Cricket Canyon, and Deep Canyon. The map records a transition from the lower elevations near Mud Spring Wash up into the high-country basins that define this section of the Snake Range.
