2011 Map of Thacker Pass

About this map

Thacker Pass serves as a critical topographic link between the Montana Mountains to the north and the Double H Mountains to the south. This 2011 survey captures the high-desert character of northwestern Nevada, where seasonal drainage patterns define the landscape. To the west, the terrain opens into the Kings River Valley, while the eastern and southern reaches are marked by the rugged indentations of Moonshine Canyon and Pretty Creek. The map shows a region shaped by its hydrology and relief, with Thacker Creek and Cherry Creek cutting through the sagebrush-covered slopes. This documentation provides a clear view of the mountain passes and basins in Humboldt County before significant industrial developments altered the local geography.
