2021 Map of Mud Spring Canyon

About this map

The Santa Rosa Range and the Bloody Run Hills define this high-desert basin in northern Nevada. This area is characterized by deep drainage systems like Mud Spring Canyon and Long Canyon, which cut through the steep topography toward the open expanse of Daveytown Flat. Water sources in this arid environment are sparse but critical, represented by isolated points like Mud Spring and Sandbank Spring. The layout of the land is further marked by ephemeral waterways such as Tony Cr and Porcupine Cr, which flow during seasonal shifts. Cultural imprints are limited to remote access routes like Sand Pass Rd, illustrating the persistence of rural transit patterns in Humboldt County. The map also traces established paths through the interior, including North Bucks Trail Canyon and Bucks Trail Canyon.
