2011 Map of Pole Creek

About this map

The Humboldt River winds through the northern portion of this Great Basin landscape, which is defined by the drainage systems of Pole Creek and the East Fork Pole Creek. High terrain features such as Juniper Ridge and the Granite Hills dominate the central topography, creating a series of natural corridors including Polkinghorne Canyon and Devils Canyon. In the early 21st century, these landforms remain critical to the local water infrastructure, as evidenced by the Granite Hill Reservoir and Button Point Spring. A network of rural and access roads, such as Kluncy Canyon Rd and Stanford St, suggests a mix of ranching activity and infrastructure maintenance near the river. The presence of the UP Access Rd indicates the importance of the rail corridor passing through this part of Humboldt County.
