2018 Map of Red Ledges

About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates the northeastern highlands of this 2018 quadrangle, where the terrain descends toward the broad expanse of Spring Valley. The landscape is defined by its drainages and distinctive geological formations, most notably the Red Ledges and the winding course of Johns Wash. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of high-desert topography and public land management at the White Pine and Lincoln County line. Transportation through these high basins relies on remote access routes like Johns Wash Rd and Big Springs Rd, which provide passage between the mountain canyons and the valley floor. To the north, Murphy Wash and West Fork Canyon carve through the forest boundary, illustrating the complex erosional patterns typical of the Great Basin region.
