About this map

Star Peak dominates the landscape of the northern Humboldt Range in this high-desert region of Pershing County. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including the formidable Bloody Canyon and Star Canyon which cut eastward from the heights. To the west, the tiny settlement of Humboldt sits at the edge of the range, served by Frontage Rd and S Frontage Rd.

Named landmarks such as Indian Ikes Point, Van Zant Peak, and Thunder Mtn provide essential reference points for navigating this complex topography. The map reveals a network of watercourses that drain the slopes, most notably Antelope Cr and Humboldt Cr. Historical naming conventions are evident in features like Florida Canyon, Tehama Canyon, and Sacred Point, suggesting a layer of early exploration and local nomenclature tied to the prominent peaks.
