2018 Map of Virgin Valley

About this map

Virgin Valley reveals a specialized landscape of water management and high-desert resource extraction in this corner of Humboldt County. The northern reaches are defined by a series of numbered water features, including Dufurrena Pond Number Nineteen and Dufurrena Pond Number 22, which follow the course of Thousand Cr. This network of ponds and the Virgin Valley Reservoir point to the critical role of water storage in this arid environment. Elevation shifts are marked by significant flat-topped landmarks such as Gooch Table and Rock Spring Table. Local industry and transit are represented by the presence of the Opal Mine and a simple network of desert routes like Virgin Valley Ranch Rd and Virgin Valley Rd, which provide access to Warm Spring and the surrounding canyonlands.
