2018 Map of Cloverdale Ranch

About this map

Cloverdale Ranch sits as a lonely outpost within the high desert landscape of central Nevada, situated where Cloverdale Creek emerges from the Shoshone Mountains. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by water scarcity and vast topography, where the boundaries of the Toiyabe National Forest encompass numerous natural springs vital to local history. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Royston Hills give way to the Ione Valley, a broad expanse drained by the Ione Wash. The map details a network of forest development roads and the established Poleline Rd, which provide access to reliable water sources like Mississippi Springs, Yellow Spring, and Red Spring. This landscape reveals the importance of mountain drainage systems in supporting the historic ranching operations of Nye County.
