2021 Map of Cloverdale Ranch

About this map

The Toiyabe National Forest covers much of this high-desert landscape in Nye County, where the Shoshone Mountains descend toward the broad expanse of the Big Smoky Valley. This region is defined by its critical water sources, with a network of vital points such as West Willow Spring, Fourmile Spring, Yellow Spring, and Red Spring scattered across the arid terrain. The presence of Cloverdale Creek and its seasonal drainages like Golden Wash and Long Wash indicate the complex hydrology of this part of the Great Basin. Remote access is provided by primitive routes such as Poleline Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 427, which traverse the southern reaches near the Royston Hills, reflecting a landscape primarily shaped by cattle ranching and natural resource management.
