2011 Map of Badger Mountain NW

About this map

Bitner Ranch serves as a primary marker of human activity within this high-desert basin of northern Washoe County. The landscape is defined by its vital water sources, with Badger Creek winding through the terrain alongside Wall Canyon Creek. These drainages and isolated points like Post Camp Spring and North Spring historically dictated the movement of livestock and the placement of seasonal camps in this arid region. To the west, the basin of Fatty Martin Lake provides a distinct geographic landmark. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparsely settled nature of the northwestern Nevada territory, where ranching infrastructure and natural springs remain the most significant features for local navigation and land use.
