About this map

North Peak and the high ridges of Battle Mountain dominate this corner of Humboldt County, defining a landscape shaped by drainage basins and seasonal water sources. The map captures the remote character of north-central Nevada in the early 21st century, where human activity is concentrated at the Oyarbide Ranch. This ranch serves as a rare point of named settlement amidst the network of primitive roads and watercourses.

A complex system of seasonal streams, including Trout Creek, North Fork Trout Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, flows through the high desert terrain. Notable water sources like Mud Spring and Ames Spring provide critical landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. To the southwest, the deep incision of Trenton Canyon and the path of Trenton Creek highlight the significant vertical relief of the range as it drops toward the lower basins.
