2011 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

Eden Valley defines this portion of Humboldt County, where the desert landscape is shaped by the seasonal flow of the Little Humboldt River. During the early 21st century, this remote ranching area remains centered on the Bullhead Ranch, situated near the intersection of Shelton Rd and N Fork Rd. The drainage network, including its namesake Spring Creek and the southern-flowing Eden Creek, illustrates the complex water rights and irrigation patterns essential for life in the Great Basin. This survey documents the sparse but critical infrastructure of the region, showing the primary access via Eden Valley Rd as it connects isolated homesteads to the wider county network. The map provides a clear record of the high-desert topography and the enduring spatial relationship between the river valley and the surrounding upland ranges.
