2018 Map of Woody Canyon

About this map

Eugene Mountains define the high-desert landscape of this corner of the Great Basin, where the boundary between Humboldt and Pershing counties cuts across the high peaks. The mining settlement of Tungsten sits in the southeast, positioned near the mineral-rich slopes of Humboldt Hill and Springer Hill. This area is characterized by a complex network of dry canyons and vital water sources, with names like Sage Chicken Spring, Three Forks Spring, and Millers Spring indicating the importance of reliable water in this arid environment. The map details the rugged drainage systems of Woody Canyon and Bonita Canyon, alongside the prominent heights of Alpha Butte and Sutton Hill. These features reveal a landscape shaped both by natural erosive forces and the industrial reach of mining operations focused on the local hillsides.
