About this map

Trout Creek Ranch sits at the transition between the high eastern slopes of the Jackson Mountains and the broad expanse of Desert Valley. This 1990 provisional map documents a landscape defined by seasonal water management and mineral exploration, featuring several mining Prospects and a Gravel Pit scattered across the foothills.

A network of man-made ditches and wells supports the ranching infrastructure near Schoolhouse Butte, where a Corral and various water sources like Big Cedar Creek and Little Cedar Creek converge. The topography is deeply etched by numerous drainages, including Louse Creek, Bull Creek, and Shawnee Creek, which flow toward the valley floor. The map provides a clear look at the remote rangeland operations of Humboldt County during the late 20th century.
