About this map

Home Camp stands as the primary namesake site in this high-desert landscape of Washoe County, positioned at the northern end of the Hays Canyon Range. The 1970s terrain is defined by a critical network of water sources necessary for survival and ranching in the Great Basin. Named springs such as Mare Pasture Spring, Horse Canyon Springs, and Chicken Spring dot the mountain flanks, alongside infrastructure like the Aqueduct and Sheep Trough Tank.

The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by Boulder Mountain and the drainage of Boulder Creek, which flows past the Black Rock Reservoir. To the south, high-altitude water features like Mahogany Lake and Jack Reservoir are accessible only by a system of Jeep Trails. This survey provides a precise look at livestock-related land use, where red dashed lines indicate fence and field boundaries across Indian Valley and Mountain View.
