About this map

Santa Rosa National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape along the border of Nevada and Oregon. The area is defined by the steep drainage systems of the East Fork Quinn River and Anderson Creek, which carve through the slopes of Odell Mountain. This 1980 survey captures the land as it was used for seasonal grazing and light mineral exploration, evidenced by isolated structures like the Quinn River Cabin and ID Cabin near the riverbanks.

Surface water is a critical feature of this arid terrain, with numerous named sources such as Anderson Springs and Sheepherder Springs providing vital points of reference for those navigating the backcountry. Evidence of early resource assessment appears in the form of Prospects in the northern heights, while a network of trails and jeep paths connects the deep cuts of Long Canyon and Klondike Canyon to the higher ridges.
