2021 Map of Soldier Meadow

About this map

Soldier Meadow serves as the central focal point of this high-desert landscape in Humboldt County, where water resources dictate the patterns of human and natural activity. The map reveals a network of perennial and seasonal drainages, including the notable Mud Meadow Cr and Soldier Cr, which carve through the volcanic topography. Remote aviation access is provided by the Soldier Meadow Number 1 Airport, situated near the confluence of White Rock Canyon and the surrounding flats. The presence of Clear Springs and Antelope Springs highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources in this arid environment. Significant elevation changes are marked by Trough Mtn and the High Rock Canyon Hills, while names like Chukar Gulch suggest the local wildlife and hunting culture of the Great Basin.
