1986 Map of Sixmile Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Humboldt National Forest dominates this section of the eastern Nevada wilderness, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by deep drainages and vital water sources. The map records several crucial water points including Sixmile Spring, Fourmile Spring, and Mud Spring, which were essential for both livestock and early prospectors traversing the high basins. Notable geologic features like the Natural Arch near Dry Canyon stand out alongside the network of canyons that carve through the range, such as Salt Marsh Canyon and Sheep Canyon. Mining activity is evident on the upper slopes, marked by Mine Shafts and a prospect near Rye Grass Canyon. The survey illustrates the stark contrast between the high forest ridges and the broad depression to the west, linked only by rugged 4wd tracks and primitive trails that follow the natural contours of the land.
