2018 Map of Clear Creek Ranch

About this map

Clear Creek Ranch sits at the western base of the Sonoma Range, where the steep topography of the mountains gives way to the open Great Basin. This high-desert landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology and ranching infrastructure, with drainage routes like Clear Cr and Clearwater Canyon carving paths through the heights. The reliance on water in this arid environment is evident through features such as the Lower Grand Trunk Reservoir and Grand Trunk Spring, which likely served as vital resources for livestock and local operations. Travel through the region follows established routes like Grass Valley Rd and Sheep Ranch Rd, which bridge the gap between the canyons and the valley floor. To the south, Washoke Canyon and Sheep Ranch Canyon cut into the mountains, marking the rugged boundary between Humboldt and Pershing Counties.
