About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates this portion of White Pine County, showing the transition from the high ridges of the Humboldt National Forest down into the expansive Spring Valley. The map details a complex drainage system where Spring Valley Cr, Siegel Cr, and Snow Bank Cr flow eastward from the mountains. These watercourses are supported by several high-elevation water sources including Mud Springs, Osborne Springs, and Willow Spring.

A network of mountain roads and canyons defines the local geography, with Silver Canyon, Sanford Canyon, and Snowbank Canyon cutting through the terrain. The settlement of North Canyon is situated at the edge of the forest boundary, while the valley floor is traversed by Whiskey Rd and Spring Valley Creek Rd. The presence of markers like Fera One Hundred Five and Fera Ninety Five suggests specific land management or grazing designations within this high-desert environment.
