2014 Map of Buena Vista Ranch

About this map

Buena Vista Ranch stands as a primary landmark in this high-desert landscape of northern Elko County, situated along the western edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of drainage systems feeding into the Marys River, which meanders through the western half of the territory. Notable tributaries such as Stormy Cr, Currant Crk, and Tabor Cr carve through the basin, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when human footprint remains light, centered around the ranch and the small settlement at Spring Gulch. Secondary transport is facilitated by local routes like CR-753, while the Public Land Survey System grid provides the organizational framework for this cattle-ranching and watershed country.
