1980 Map of Whiskey Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Whiskey Springs and the surrounding high desert of Humboldt County are defined by critical water sources scattered across a landscape of canyons and ridges. This 1980 survey reveals a network of isolated springs and livestock improvements, such as Bull Pen Reservoir and Sagehen Well, that sustained ranching in the Great Basin. The North Fork Little Humboldt River cuts through the northeast, bordered by the Red Hills and the deep incision of Black Canyon. Sparse travel routes consist primarily of a Jeep Trail and various other paths, connecting landmarks like Mustang Spring and Little Mud Spring. The topographic detail highlights the transition from the broad North Fork V valley to the concentrated drainages of Fairbanks Creek and Whiskey Springs Canyon, illustrating how water shaped human activity and movement in this arid environment.
