2015 Map of Winter Ridge

About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses the high country shown here, where the Nevada-Idaho state line divides a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and remote peaks. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain crisscrossed by livestock and forest management features, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 023 Trl and various springs like Bruneau Spring and Moonshine Spring. Significant landmarks such as Winter Ridge and the Bruneau Range dominate the southern portion of the sheet, while the northern section is characterized by meadows and flats. Historical land use is suggested by family-named features like Yankee Bill Gulch, Ramsey Draw, and Willis Meadow. The map documents the headwaters of several creeks, including Salmon Cr and Slaughterhouse Cr, which carve through the basins and draws of the Elko and Owyhee county borderlands.
