2015 Map of Alder Creek Ranch

About this map

Alder Creek Ranch serves as a lone human outpost in this high desert landscape of Humboldt County, Nevada. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Pine Forest Range and the prominent summit of McGhee Mtn, which overlook the expansive Bog Hot Valley to the north. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, represented by Gridley Lake and the clusters of Warm Springs and Three Springs. These hydrologic points likely dictated the historical movement and settlement patterns of the region. Drainage from the mountains flows through Craine Cr and Alder Cr, while Knott Creek Rd provides the primary passage through the basin, connecting these remote landmarks in a region largely defined by its topography rather than its infrastructure.
