About this map

Borchert Ranch and the nearby Borchert Spring sit at the base of the Egan Range, overlooking the expansive floor of the Steptoe Valley in the early 1980s. This landscape is defined by its drainage systems and ranching infrastructure, with Antone Creek and Duck Creek carving routes through the basin.

Small-scale ranching and transit landmarks like Ray and Raiff anchor the valley's western edge, while an Airfield in the northwest corner suggests the region's reliance on aerial access. To the east, Schell Creek emerges from the mountains, passing near a Gravel Pit that indicates local industrial extraction. The map provides a clear picture of high-desert land management, featuring several stock tanks and the winding path of Rabbit Canyon.
