About this map

The Humboldt River winds through this Great Basin landscape, defining the character of the river valley near the settlement of Rose Creek. This area of Humboldt County serves as a vital transportation corridor, where the Southern Pacific Company RR and several roads, including Jungo Rd and Conservation Rd, parallel the river's path. The topography rises away from the water into the Tenmile Hills and toward the summit of Little Tabletop Mtn, while the level expanse of Abel Flat sits to the northwest.

Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with Barrett Springs, Little Alkali Spring, and the seasonal flow of Rose Cr punctuating the map. These features, along with the small settlement at Raglan, provide specific points of reference for those researching the land use and rail history of northern Nevada. The grid of township and range lines, such as t35n r36e, provides a precise framework for locating property and historical landmarks along the river corridor.
