2018 Map of Ungina Wongo

About this map

The Humboldt National Forest dominates this section of Elko County, where the high-altitude terrain of the Bruneau Range meets the Bull Run Mountains. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Ungina Wongo and Wonga Douya down to the drainage of the Owyhee River in the northeast. The area is intersected by a network of specialized access routes, including Partridge Road, Byington, and the series of McCall trails, which facilitate movement through the complex topography of Wall Canyon and Banty Gulch. For those tracing historical land use or grazing routes, the map identifies specific locales like Jones Flat, Picnic Flats, and Gondem Bah, which reflect the remote and rugged character of the Nevada backcountry during the early 21st century.
