About this map

New York Peak and the high ridges of the Pine Forest Range define this high-desert landscape in northern Humboldt County. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its vital water sources, where isolated points like Josie Pearl Spring, Willow Spring, and Lone Meadow Spring served as essential landmarks for movement through the Great Basin. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of the Black Rock Range down to the alluvial reaches of Cove Meadows and the drainage of Craine Cr.

Remote access is traced along the rugged paths of Pearl Camp Rd and Leonard Creek Rd, which navigate the deep cuts of Pearl Canyon and Trail Canyon. The map reveals the intricate network of seasonal watercourses, including Corral Cr and New York Canyon Cr, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the Nevada backcountry before modern changes. This record is particularly valuable for understanding the spatial relationship between traditional livestock grazing areas like Rodeo Flat and the high summits that overlook them.
