About this map

Pueblo Valley anchors this high-desert landscape on the border of Nevada and Oregon, where the small community of Denio and the nearby crossroads of Denio Junction serve as isolated outposts. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the low-lying Pueblo Slough and Spring Meadow in the west to the significant heights of Lone Mtn and Granite Mtn in the east.

Evidence of ranching and water management is scattered throughout, notably at the Wilder Creek Ranch and the vital Mud Spring. Drainage patterns like Dry Gulch and Dry Canyon indicate the seasonal nature of local waterways such as Wilder Cr and Maggie Cr. The map follows the path of Wilder Creek Rd as it cuts across the foothills, providing a primary link through this remote section of Humboldt County.
