2011 Map of Arabia

About this map

The Arabia district of Pershing County unfolds across this high-desert landscape, dominated by the winding course of the Humboldt River in the southeast. This 2011 survey documents a region where ranching and historical transit routes intersect. Significant topographic features like Black Rock Canyon, Trinity Canyon, and South Trinity Canyon define the western elevations, while the valley floor supports agricultural outposts such as Salinas Ranch and Young Ranch. The inclusion of Old Emigrant Rd and Poker Browncamp Rd highlights the enduring legacy of early Nevada travel corridors. Near the river, the Young Dam serves as a critical point of water management in an otherwise arid basin. This map provides a clear record of land use and named ranching landmarks within the Great Basin, useful for understanding the modern footprint of these long-established desert settlements.
