Humboldt County is located in the rugged, high desert region of north-central Nevada, bordered on the north by Oregon and by neighboring Nevada counties to the west, south and east. Humboldt County gets its name from the Humboldt River, which enters its borders near the southeastern corner, runs to the northwest for a distance of some sixty miles then continues to the Humboldt Sink, or Lake. Between the mountain ranges lie broad valleys and plains, most of them of desert nature, but which are now being rapidly settled and irrigated from small mountain streams. Humboldt County has a variety of valley and mountain lands, suitable for agriculture, grazing, stock raising and mining. The Humboldt River and its tributaries form the principal water supply for the irrigation of lands, though small mountain streams furnish the supply for some quite extensive individual ranches in the various parallel valleys.
