2011 Map of Santa Rosa Peak

About this map

Santa Rosa Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in Humboldt County, defined by a radial drainage pattern of canyons and creeks. On the northwestern edge, the Roberti Ranch sits at the base of the mountains where the terrain begins its steep ascent toward peaks like Sawtooth Mountain. The map detail traces the complex network of seasonal and perennial waters, including the long reach of Rebel Creek and the southern flow of Rock Creek. These waterways, alongside McConnell Creek and Antelope Creek, cut through the desert landscape, illustrating the natural water management systems essential to Nevada's ranching and wilderness areas. Toward the southern end, Falls Canyon and North Fork Hanson Creek mark the descent into the lower basins, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography in the early 21st century.
