About this map

Cloverdale Ranch sits as a lonely outpost within the high desert landscape of Nye County, where the southern reaches of the Toiyabe National Forest meet the arid expanses of the Ione Valley. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by its water sources, with names like Willow Springs, Mississippi Springs, and Stevens Spring hinting at the critical points of survival in the Shoshone Mountains. The geography is etched by the drainage of Cloverdale Cr and Golden Wash, which navigate the elevation changes between the peaks and the Royston Hills to the south.

Modern infrastructure is represented by forest roads such as NF-018 and NF-427, which provide access to the remote backcountry. The map also delineates several public land parcels, labeled as PB 38 through PB 60, reflecting the complex land management typical of the Great Basin. This document provides a clear view of the relationship between sparse mountain hydrology and the ranching tradition that has long persisted in this corner of Nevada.
