About this map

Thousand Creek Gorge cuts a deep path through the high desert of northern Humboldt County, where the Nevada-Oregon state line divides this remote landscape. The map details the drainage of Thousand Cr as it flows eastward between the Idaho Canyon Range and the prominent heights of McGhee Mtn. The transport pattern is defined by the Dufurrena Grade, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, providing access to this high-altitude basin.

Elevated plateaus such as Big Spring Table and Twin Peak characterize the northern reaches, transitioning into the expansive Jackass Flat. This 2018 survey provides an intricate view of the local topography, marking landmarks like Railroad Point and Long Draw that are essential for navigating this arid terrain. The map serves as a primary record of the physical geography along the state boundary, including the intersection of Harney and Humboldt counties.
