2011 Map of Sawtooth Knob

About this map

Sawtooth Knob serves as the focal point for this section of Humboldt County, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by critical water sources like Railroad Spring and Mitchum Spring. In the early 21st century, the landscape remains largely defined by its natural drainage patterns and the network of primitive roads that navigate the arid basins. The southern portion of the map transition into the Antelope Range, where the geography becomes increasingly complex as it meets Rosebud Canyon. This area, accessed via the long stretch of Pioneer Rd, illustrates the sparse infrastructure and the reliance on isolated springs and canyon passes for movement across the Great Basin. The presence of Box Canyon in the northeast further highlights the deep incisions carved into this high-elevation plateau.
