2011 Map of Cloverdale Ranch

About this map

Cloverdale Ranch serves as a primary point of human activity in this arid central Nevada landscape, situated at the confluence of several desert tracks and the intermittent flow of Cloverdale Creek. The map documents a survival-driven geography defined by isolated water sources, including Rojo Spring, Yellow Spring, and Red Spring, which appear as critical waypoints for local livestock or travelers through the Nye County wilderness. Arroyos like Golden Wash and Ione Wash carve through the basin, illustrating the drainage patterns that dominate the terrain surrounding the ranch. The road network is sparse, with Nfd 427 Rd providing one of the few named forest service access points into the northern reaches where Stevens Spring and Fourmile Spring are located. This survey preserves the remote pastoral and hydrologic character of the region in the early twenty-first century.
