2011 Map of Mud Spring Canyon

About this map

Daveytown Flat sits on the western edge of this landscape, a high desert expanse defined by the intricate drainage systems of the Bloody Run Hills. The area is characterized by a series of significant erosional features including North Bucks Trail Canyon, Bucks Trail Canyon, and the primary drainage of Mud Spring Canyon. These canyons channel seasonal water from the uplands toward the flats, supporting isolated water sources such as Mud Spring and Sandbank Spring. Small perennial or intermittent flows like Porcupine Creek and Tony Creek cut through the northern territory, illustrating the rugged hydrology of this part of Humboldt County. The land remains largely undeveloped, preserving the original character of the trail systems and canyons that have historically guided movement through this arid basin and range environment.
