2015 Map of Ungina Wongo

About this map

The Bull Run Mountains and the northern reaches of the Humboldt National Forest dominate this high-desert landscape in Elko County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and plateaus, including Ungina Wongo, Wonga Douya, and Siciegotit, which rise above a network of drainages that feed the Owyhee River to the northeast. This 2015 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily managed for conservation and forestry, where named landmarks like Gondem Bah and Fly Head provide orientation across the ridges. Evidence of human infrastructure is limited to primitive travel ways such as the Natl Forest Develop Road 178 Rd, highlighting the remote character of the Bruneau Range transition. Water remains the primary architect of the land here, carving deep features like Wall Canyon and Banty Gulch that contrast with the open space of Picnic Flats.
