About this map

The Eugene Mountains define the high-desert character of this 2014 survey, which spans the border between Humboldt and Pershing counties. This arid landscape is punctuated by vital water sources such as Millers Spring, Sage Chicken Spring, and the Bonita Canyon Spring. The complex drainage patterns of the region are evident in the systems of Woody Canyon and Bonita Canyon, where seasonal flows like Chicken Basin Cr and Dry Creek have carved deep paths through the terrain.

Several named high points, including Alpha Butte and Florence Hill, serve as prominent landmarks for navigation across the basin and range geography. At the location known as Three Forks, the topography converges near Danner Spring. The map documents a landscape defined by its relief and sparse but critical hydrology, essential for understanding the historical movement and land use in this part of northern Nevada.
