About this map

Remery Ranch and Howard Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this high-desert region, where family ranching outposts are scattered among seasonal drainages and springs. The area is defined by the ephemeral flows of Buck Creek and Bridge Creek, which create natural corridors for travel and habitation in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of land management and historical surveying is found at the McBroom Administrative Study Plot and near Buck Creek Crossing.

A network of forest development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 2800 RD, provides access to the southern reaches of the quadrangle. For those researching the hydraulic history of the range, numerous vital water sources like Thirteenmile Spring and Willow Spring are documented, along with man-made improvements such as the Ted Reservoir and Staked Waterhole. The topography transitions through Cashow Flat, revealing a working landscape of long-established ranching interests.
