2015 Map of Sombrero Peak

About this map

Sombrero Peak serves as a prominent high point in this remote corner of Humboldt County, part of a basin-and-range landscape characterized by isolated buttes and the southern reaches of the Slumbering Hills. The map depicts a largely undeveloped terrain where elevation changes are defined by features like Gabica Butte and Corbeal Butte. Human presence is minimal, evidenced primarily by the solitary Sod House Rd cutting across the northwestern corner. This survey documents the Public Land Survey System grid across townships including t39n r35e and t38n r34e, illustrating the geometric division of the Nevada desert. The contrast between the flat valley floors and the steep, complex contours of the Slumbering Hills highlights the geological transitions typical of the region.
