2018 Map of Boyer Ranch

About this map

Boyer Ranch and the dispersed community of Dixie Valley anchor this landscape in the high desert of Nevada. The terrain is characterized by the stark geography of the basin, where water sources like Spring Cr and Cottonwood Cr provide rare relief to the arid environment. A notable geothermal presence is evident at the Senator Fumaroles, indicating the active geological forces beneath the valley floor. The map also documents the Dixie Valley Airport, a vital piece of infrastructure for this remote region. For researchers and historians, the layout of these small settlements and their proximity to natural features offers a clear view of how human habitation and travel routes were dictated by the availability of water and the unique geothermal activity of the Great Basin.
