2015 Map of Mullinix Creek

About this map

Humboldt National Forest and the peaks of the Santa Rosa Range dominate this interior Nevada landscape. The map illustrates a transition from the higher elevations of Tom Basin down toward the alluvial floor of Paradise Valley. The drainage system is particularly well-defined, showing how Mullinix Cr, Big Cottonwood Cr, and Little Cottonwood Cr descend from the mountains toward the valley basin. The presence of Ararat Hills in the southeast corner provides a distinct geological boundary. Human infrastructure is concentrated in the lower elevations, marked by NV-290 and a network of ranch and access roads like Buttermilk Rd and Lye Ln. The survey reflects a sparsely populated area where the natural water sources, such as Solid Silver Cr and Lamance Cr, dictate the movement and location of seasonal activity.
