1985 Map of White Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The California Emigrant Trail and the historic Hastings Cut-Off converge along the South Fork Humboldt River, marking this landscape as a vital corridor for westward migration. This 1980s-era topographical study reveals the complex terrain where the Pinon Range and Elko Mountains overlook the broad alluvial basin of White Flats. The irrigation and water management needs of the high desert are evident in the presence of a Siphon, a Gaging Station, and numerous sandpits near the riverbanks. The settlement of Corral and various ranching features sit between Tenmile Creek and Dixie Creek, illustrating how the region's limited water sources dictated the layout of local agriculture and transportation during the late 20th century.
