2021 Map of Sawtooth Knob

About this map

Sawtooth Knob serves as the central landmark for this high-desert region of northern Nevada, situated along the border of Humboldt Co and Pershing Co. The landscape is defined by its arid drainages and isolated water sources, which were critical for early transit and livestock in the Great Basin. Remote outposts such as Railroad Spring and Mitchum Spring indicate the essential water locations that supported regional movement between townships like t35n r31e and t34n r30e. Deep geographical features including Box Canyon, Rosebud Canyon, and the extensive Long Canyon illustrate the complex natural topography that challenged early surveyors and continues to define this section of the state's interior.
