About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses the high-altitude landscape of the Egan Range, dominated by the prominent summit of Ward Mtn. The topography is defined by significant vertical relief, where high ridges like Hamels Peak overlook deep drainages such as Sawmill Canyon and Water Canyon. This 2018 survey reveals a network of springs and alpine water sources, including Blue Spring, Mud Spring, and the high-elevation Little Lake and Big Lake, which are essential features in this arid Nevada environment.

Transportation through the mountains is marked by specialized paths like the Old Cutting Trail and the Pipeline Canyon Trail, alongside the Natl Forest Develop Road 444 Rd. A notable geological landmark, the Natural Arch, is situated near Eph Cr, illustrating the erosional processes that have shaped this portion of White Pine County. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns for Rowe Cr and the various forks of Willow Spring, tracing the watershed from the peaks down through the Upper Terrace and Lower Terrace.
