About this map

The Santa Rosa Range dominates this portion of the Humboldt National Forest in northern Nevada, where high-elevation drainage systems define the landscape. Water flows from the peaks through a series of canyons, including Mullinix Creek, Big Cottonwood Creek, and Little Cottonwood Creek, eventually reaching the floor of Paradise Valley. This 2018 survey documents a region where access is primarily via forest development roads and primitive paths like the Summit Trail and the Lost Motor Trail.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early land designations such as the Keystone Ranch near the southeastern edge of the range. The map illustrates the transition from the high-desert mountains down to the alluvial fans of the valley, passing through the Ararat Hills and past the topographic depression of Tom Basin. The map also details several mountain spurs used for land management, such as Mullinix Creek Spur A and Solid State Spur A.
