About this map

Home Camp and the high desert rangelands of northern Washoe County define this 2011 survey, showing a landscape shaped by remote livestock operations and water management. The terrain is marked by seasonal and permanent water sources essential for survival in this arid region, ranging from Mahogany Lake and Black Rock Reservoir to numerous named springs such as Coyote Spring and Chicken Spring.

Evidence of historical grazing practices is found at Mountain View Corral and across designated areas like Mare Pasture and the Home Camp Range. Higher elevations are represented by Boulder Mountain, while lower depressions such as Lower Meadow and Boulder Field illustrate the complex drainage patterns of Boulder Creek. Transportation is limited to rugged routes like Hays Canyon Rd, underscoring the isolation of this corner of the Great Basin.
