Santa Rosa Ranger District
The Santa Rosa Ranger District is more than 280,000 acres in Humboldt County. The District is a local favorite and contributes significantly to the rural economy of northern Nevada. The office is in Winnemucca.
The landscape includes mountains and plateaus with elevations ranging from 5,000 feet to 9,732 feet at Granite Peak in the Santa Rosa Range. Large aspen stands, mountain mahogany, sagebrush, mountain brush, forbs, and native grasses populate the District’s high desert mountain landscape. The landscape is characteristic of much of the basin and range country of northern Nevada with its rugged granitic rock formations and wide, sweeping basins.
