2018 Map of Paiute Meadows

About this map

Lassens Grave May 59 stands as a solitary historical marker in this remote pocket of the Black Rock Range, anchoring the landscape to the mid-19th-century pioneer era. The terrain is defined by a critical network of water sources essential for survival in the high desert, including Johnstone Springs, Onemile Spring, and the clustered Cherry Springs. These perennial points supported the establishment of Paiute Meadows, where the Paiute Meadows Airport provides a modern, though isolated, connection to the wider region. To the southeast, Elephant Mtn rises above the drainage of Paiute Cr, illustrating the stark elevation changes typical of Humboldt County. The map traces early transportation and land management corridors like Leonard Creek Rd and Farm Rd, which weave between these scattered springs and the rocky outcrops of the range.
