How to use the Humboldt County hunting map
On the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, scan the wooded draws and creek bottoms near Denio and click each tract you like; the record lists the titleholder of record and mailing address. Write down the parcel ID, owner name and mailing address for each tract around Fort McDermitt, then rank them by cover, access and size.
The county map you'll pair it with
