2021 Map of Battle Creek Ranch

About this map

Black Rock Range dominates the northwestern portion of this Humboldt County survey, giving way to the high desert plains and canyons of northwestern Nevada. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Leonard Cr and its namesake ranch area, alongside Battle Cr and Bartlett Cr. These watercourses have historically dictated movement and land use in this arid region, providing critical resources for the local ranching economy. The primary artery through this terrain is Leonard Creek Rd, which skirts the edge of the mountains and connects the rugged highlands to the more level expanses of the Black Rock Desert in the southeast. Smaller topographic features such as Pearl Canyon, Rough Canyon, and the isolated House Spring offer specific landmarks for those studying the physical geography and ranching boundaries of this remote territory.
