2021 Map of Star Peak

About this map

The high ridges of the Humboldt Range dominate this part of Pershing County, reaching a geographic climax at Star Peak. This 2021 record captures the complex network of deep drainages that define the eastern and western slopes of the range, including the prominent Star Canyon and Bloody Canyon. The landscape is largely defined by these natural contours, with only sparse infrastructure such as Humboldt Canyon Rd navigating the lower elevations. High-altitude landmarks like Thunder Mtn, Van Zant Peak, and Sacred Point provide essential orientation points for those studying the rugged topography of northern Nevada. The map also traces the headwaters of several drainages, including Star Cr and Antelope Cr, which drain the steep terrain of the quadrangle.
