2018 Map of Byers Ranch
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Byers Ranch and the expanse of the Edwards Creek Valley anchor this Churchill County landscape, where the flat valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Desatoya Mountains. The terrain transitions from the seasonal drainages of Edwards Cr and New Pass Cr in the north to the steep, complex topography of Horse Canyon in the southeast. This map captures a remote section of Nevada where aviation and historical transit paths cross. The presence of the Hudson Airport in the southwest corner suggests the importance of aerial access in this isolated basin-and-range environment. Traces of historical movement are evident along the southwestern edge, where the Old Overland Rd skirts the base of the mountains, following a corridor long utilized for travel across the Great Basin.
