2014 Map of Byers Ranch

About this map

Edwards Creek Valley dominates the northern reaches of this Churchill County landscape, a broad basin bounded by the rising slopes of the Desatoya Mountains. The area represents a point of intersection between early transportation routes and modern infrastructure, where the Old Overland Rd and Alpine Rd W cross the arid terrain. The remote settlement of Byers Ranch sits near the head of the valley, while the presence of the Hudson Airport indicates the continued utility of this corridor for regional travel. Drainage patterns are defined by the intermittent flows of Edwards Cr and New Pass Cr, which carve through the high desert floor. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, showing the surveyed boundaries of T20N R38E and T19N R38E as they overlay the topographic relief of Horse Canyon.
