2014 Map of Butler Ranch

About this map

Butler Ranch serves as a primary marker of human activity within this high-elevation landscape on the eastern slopes of the Monitor Range. The 2014 survey details a network of canyons and drainages, including Horse Heaven Canyon and Long Canyon, which channel water toward Willow Cr and Butler Cr. A significant portion of the terrain is managed as part of the Toiyabe National Forest, where the topography rises sharply to the east. This region is characterized by its isolation and the persistence of traditional land use, as seen in the presence of Butler Ranch and the service roads NV-82 and NF-141 that traverse the rugged basins and range. Researchers can examine the drainage patterns of W Dobbin Cr and other ephemeral streams that define the local hydrology.
