About this map

The Humboldt National Forest dominates this northern Nevada landscape, where high summits and specialized mountain trails define the geography. Centered around Tennessee Mtn and the Tennessee Mine, the area shows a complex network of forest service routes including the Tennessee 4 Trl and the Mill Creek Loop. These paths suggest a history of high-altitude extraction and land management, particularly near Waterlog Summit and the distinctive open expanse of Sunflower Flat.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid high-country, with named features like Bieroth Spring and Tennessee Spring providing essential nodes for navigation and historical use. From the Ichabod Range to the steep Bieroth Slide, the map details a terrain carved by drainages such as Martin Creek and Meadow Cr. The density of named gulches, including Moonshine Gulch and Rowher Gulch, points to a long-established local nomenclature used by miners and ranchers navigating the northern Elko County backcountry.
