About this map

The Humboldt River carves a complex, braided path across this high desert landscape, defining the northern reaches of Grass Valley. This 1982 provisional edition captures the infrastructure supporting the region’s transportation and industry during the late twentieth century. In the southern portion of the map, the Winnemucca Municipal Airport serves as a significant landmark, featuring specialized aviation markers such as the Airway Beacon 32A and an Airport Dome.

The arid terrain transitions from the alluvial fans of the Krum Hills in the northwest to the active industrial sites scattered throughout the valley. Numerous Gravel Pit operations are located near the river and rail corridors, reflecting the local resource extraction economy. Cultural sites are also documented, including a small Cem. and the seasonal flow of Clear Creek, providing a detailed look at the interface between the Nevada desert and the development of Humboldt County.
