2018 Map of Seligman Canyon

About this map

The White Pine Range dominates this portion of eastern Nevada, where the high-altitude terrain of the Humboldt National Forest transitions into the broad expanse of Newark Valley. This area is defined by its mining heritage and rugged access routes, featuring several notable workings including the Seligman Mine, Mary Ellen Mine, and the Jenny A Mines. These sites are linked by a network of specialized trails and primitive roads like the Jenny Mine Cutoff and McEllen Canyon Cutoff Trail. The presence of reliable water sources at Emigrant Spring, Allan Spring, and Seligman Spring suggests the historic importance of these points for both mining operations and travel through the canyons. Steep ridges such as Pogonip Ridge and Babylon Ridge provide a clear look at the geological structure of the range, while deep cuts like Mohawk Canyon and Truckee Canyon illustrate the drainage patterns of the Great Basin.
