2021 Map of Thousand Creek Gorge

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Thousand Creek Gorge forms the dramatic centerpiece of this high-desert landscape in northern Humboldt County. The terrain transitions from the broad expanses of Jackass Flat and Big Spring Table to the prominent heights of McGhee Mtn and the Idaho Canyon Range. The drainage of Thousand Cr winds through the central portion of the quadrangle, carving the deep gorge that serves as the region's defining geological feature. Local transportation is represented by the Dufurrena Grade, which traverses the varied topography near Long Draw. Located along the Nevada and Oregon border, this area reflects the character of the Great Basin's rugged northwestern corner, where isolated landmarks like Railroad Point and Twin Peak break the horizon. The map details the Township and Range system across these high-elevation flats and canyons, illustrating the enduring physical boundaries of the remote borderlands.
