2015 Map of Thousand Creek Spring

About this map

Thousand Creek Spring sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape where the border of Nevada and Oregon meets. This region is characterized by stark landforms and vital water sources that dictate the movement of people and wildlife across the arid basin. Notable elevations such as Boundary Butte and the distinctive Flat Top Butte provide landmarks above the drainage systems of Big Spring Cr and Thousand Cr. The map details the intricate contours of Big Spring Table and the uniquely named Hawksy Walksy in the northern reaches. These features reflect a remote environment where survival and travel have historically relied on the scattered springs and creek beds that cut through the volcanic terrain of Humboldt County.
