2014 Map of Rose Creek Mountain

About this map

Auld Lang Syne Peak and the surrounding East Range dominate the southern landscape of this 2014 survey. This portion of the Great Basin is defined by sharp topographic contrasts, where the high elevations of Rose Creek Mtn and the steep drainage of Badger Canyon descend into the broad expanse of Grass Valley. The map documents the boundary between Humboldt and Pershing Counties, showing how modern residential roads like Cormier Blvd and Beechcraft Blvd have begun to partition the desert floor. Water sources remain critical to the character of the region, marked by the presence of Rose Spring and the seasonal paths of Clear Cr and Sonoma Cr. The transition from the high ridges of Auld Lang Syne Gulch to the valley floor illustrates the typical basin-and-range land use patterns of northern Nevada.
