1991 Map of South of McDermitt

About this map

The Quinn River Valley meets the western slopes of the Santa Rosa Range in this 1991 survey of northern Nevada. This arid landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of numerous seasonal watercourses, including Eightmile Creek, Threemile Creek, and Flat Creek, which flow toward the valley floor from the higher elevations of the range. The Hoppin Ranch stands as a notable point of settlement in the northwest, supported by scattered water infrastructure like W Well and various Stock Ponds. Resource extraction and land management are evident through the presence of several Borrow Pits, Gravel Pits, and unnamed Prospects tucked into the mountain canyons. The map also traces the winding course of Pole Creek and Spring Creek as they traverse the alluvial fans, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and land use in Humboldt County at the start of the 1990s.
