1985 Map of Big Creek Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Railroad Valley dominates the western half of this 1980s survey, illustrating the vast, arid basin floor before it rises sharply into the high country of the Humboldt National Forest. The transition from the valley floor to the mountains is defined by deep drainage systems, including Deep Creek Canyon and Dry Canyon, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the desert sinks. The Big Creek Ranch stands as a lonely outpost of human activity along the eastern edge, situated near where Big Creek emerges from the canyon mouth.
