About this map

The Santa Rosa Range defines the high-elevation geography of this northern Nevada landscape, where the Humboldt National Forest spans the steep eastern slopes. This 2021 survey documents the intricate network of watercourses and primitive access routes that penetrate the mountains, including the prominent drainage of White Rock Canyon and the headwaters of Skull Cr. The terrain is marked by a complex system of forest roads and trails, such as the Willow Creek Trl and the Solid Silver Spur C Mototrail Trl, which provide access to the high backcountry south of the Spring Canyon area.

At the western edge of the mountains, the landscape transitions toward the lower plains along Old Hwy 95. This modern cartographic record captures the contemporary state of grazing lands and public forest boundaries, tracing named creeks like Eagle Cr and Willow Cr as they flow from the high peaks toward the flats. The map serves as a precise guide to the remote forest interior, detailing spurs like Skull Creek Spur B and Flat Creek Rd that navigate the ridges of the range.
