2014 Map of Boyer Ranch

About this map

Boyer Ranch and the small settlement of Boyer sit at the western edge of the desert floor where the basin meets rising terrain. This portion of Churchill County is defined by the sweeping expanse of Dixie Valley, a region where geothermal activity is evidenced by the presence of Senator Fumaroles in the northwestern corner. The arid landscape is bisected by the long stretch of Dixie Valley Rd, which serves as the primary corridor through this remote basin. Water resources are limited to seasonal drainages like Spring Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which descend from the higher elevations to the west. The inclusion of the Dixie Valley Airport reflects the area's modern infrastructure needs within a vast, sparsely populated ranching and desert environment, where land management is divided into the structured grid of sections like t24n r37e.
