2021 Map of Red House Flat West

About this map

The Osgood Mountains dominate the northwestern horizon of this Nevada landscape, where the terrain transitions into the high desert floor of Red House Flat. This modern survey illustrates the enduring patterns of desert travel and water management, centered around life along the Humboldt River. Significant local landmarks include Lone Butte and the crossings of the mountains through Soldier Pass. The presence of Garden Spring and Dog Spring indicates the critical importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment. Ranching and transportation history is etched into the landscape via routes like Pettit Ranch Rd and Midas Rd, which connect the settlement of Comus to the surrounding canyons and flats. The map also delineates several named canyons, including Porphyry Canyon and Etchart Canyon, providing a comprehensive view of the local drainage and topography.
