About this map

Star Peak dominates the center of the Humboldt Range in this high-elevation Nevada study. The rugged topography is defined by sharp vertical relief and a network of named drainages including Bloody Canyon, Prince Royal Canyon, and Tehama Canyon. To the west, the foothills give way to more accessible terrain near Twain and the historic location of Humboldt City, which sits at the base of the mountains.

Transport is limited to a few arterial routes such as 80 and the Standard Mine Rd, reflecting the area's history of mineral extraction and transit. The map identifies several prominent summits like Thunder Mtn and Van Zant Peak, alongside distinctive landmarks like Indian Ikes Point and Sacred Point. These features indicate a landscape shaped by both intensive geology and a heritage of prospecting and ranching in Pershing County.
